    Which CD-RW BURNER should I get?

    I've been keeping an eye on these two for awhile now and have decided to buy one of them. I just don't know which one They are both 52x24x52. The main difference is, the Lite-On has a 80ms seektime v. the Asus's 100ms seek time lol.

    Links:

    Lite-On: LTR-52246S

    - OR -

    ASUS: CRW-5224A

    I think the ASUS one also has a better bundle. You can also read about these two on the SharkyExtreme's May Extreme Guide and May High End Guide.

    I get paycheck tomorrow and will order one of these pups tomorrow. It's up to you to help my decision!

    Thanks guys,
    Dave
    RUNNER!

    They're both great drives, you probably won't notice a difference, and it wouldn't suprise me if the asus drive was actually lite-on (edit: probably not though seeing as they have different seek times ).

    Lite-on is a great optical storage company and if anything might be a tid bit faster, but if you like the asus bundle go with that. They're basically the same price at newegg.

    If you need or want a DVD player also take a look at this excellent DVD/CDRW 48X24X48 combo drive by LG Electronics. I love mine!

    AS far as the Liteon/Asus question both are very good quality with
    a good chance the Asus is manufactured by Liteon or LG anyway...

    I don't think you can get a proper burn at that speed.

    Oh and Lite-on makes a similar DVD/CD-RW for only 65 bucks at newegg.

    Lite-on all the way. Bought a Lite On 52x24x52 CDRW Model LTR-52246S, works perfectly. No problems so far. Burns CDs in like 2 mins.
    Great investment.

    There will almost definitely never be a 72X burner for "civilian" use. The discs would almost definitely shatter. Discs with "hairline fractures" shatter into a million pieces in 52X drives already.

    Well my vote is going to Lite-On. I've had 4 of these over the years and no problems what-so-ever. I would switch to another brand but Lite-On has been good to me and I tend to stick with what works
