Recommend a DWD RW+/- Duel Layer?

[OXO]

Hi Everyone,

Going to have to get a new Burner as i have worn mine out so i was thinking about these Duel Layer Burners.

Can anyone reccomend a decent but not over priced model? There's so many to choose from i am lost for looking

Thanks

James

ps: I know Daz got one but i cant find your post sorry

Arn't the media for these still expensive? Last time I looked (a while ago admittedly) it was around £5 a disc!

Yes gaz still quite costly but i was thinking no point in getting a normal dvd rw when the meadia for the duel layers will come down in time. I think i can get those TUFF disc duel layer disc pretty cheap 2.50gbp last time i looked on my local market...

You could probably pick one up at http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/drivescddvd.html

One of the best on the go for the money.

James

Gaz, Yeah future proofing for an extra couple of quid cant be bad can it

Although those writers on Jamie's link are very nicely priced indeed.

Such a shame Pioneer don't do the slot loading drives anymore.....so cool.

I'm not as up to date on these things as I used to be, but when I was, Aria were always good, cheap, reliable sellers.

The LG's are about £30 as well - burns whatever I chuck at it

Have had 3 LG's (CD, DVD, DVD d/l) and been rock solid

And the price for the media that Jamie found is cracking. Most places are around the £5 mark (even through work!!!)
