Which DVD-Recordable Drives?

Posted by Hemos on Wednesday September 12, 2001 @06:51AM from the which-one-to-get dept.

We've had a couple stories recently about DVD-RW and such. I'm wondering what ones out there people have used, how well they work, what's the support etc etc. I'm also still on my quest to build the ultimate quiet machine, so any comment on the amount of noise the drive generates would be great - I love my Yamaha Drive for burning - but it's a *loud* one.

How can you care about something as trivial as DVDs when 50,000 people are dead and our nation is on the brink of war.
Horrible aren't we? I also took a shower this morning and just now went and made some iced tea.

What ever you get, make it an external scsi, and then put the drive 6 meters away,in a closet.

You said nothing about convinent...;)

Actually putting it in an external case may make it less audible.

The discs referred to in the article have been "hacked" with a hole puncher. Users will now be sued by the RIAA, MPAA, and the producer of the disc, because doubling the capacity steals their revenues.
