Never regretted getting the Plextor PX-40TW scsi cd-rom. Haven't had a read-error in two years.

If u need DVD then its the liteon.
Its a rippers dream.

I would also go for the toshiba or sony, as they are what you need for copy protected music files also (lite-ons don't fair too well for that, otherwise it would be my choice).

Ditto on toshiba.

catachresis,
Can the PX-40TW scsi cd-rom play a backup of safedisc 2.5.021?

[shadoe_phantom]

it should Shoeb. Haven't heard anyone using PX40TW who can't read/write/play what they throw at it.
But CDRW drives SHOULDN'T be used for playing CDs. The lasers used in them are stronger & over longer periods of time can damage the CDs.
Should always use a plain CD/DVD-ROM drive instead.

shadow,
That's the problem with the latest cd protections, the backups WON'T play in a DVD/CD-Rom. The safedisc 2.5.021& SecuROM *new* (Sony) are killers and most of the backups will only play in the cdrw. The LiteOn Lite DVD 163/165& Toshiba SD-M1402 and a very few others can beat the safedisc factor (ATIP).

guess I don't have that problem =) (lucky me)

 

[Shoebedobedoo]

What brand name DVD/CD-Rom model# do you own shadow? (curious).

[shadoe_phantom]

using a few, though mainly use Sony DDU1621 (with S1p6 flashed firmware).
Also have Lite-On 12x DVD, Toshiba 6x DVD (no cd-rom drive. only have those at work, almost every brand there).

I use Toshiba DVD-ROM to read

 

[Diabolic]

The best Reader i have here is def. the Tosh (SD-M1401 - SCSI)
also Plex (SCSI) good choice!
quality Drives!! get it! use it!

 

[kenbitt]

Well guys i have to agree with catachresis the Plex is the BEST though i have not got me a DVDrom yet i will have to go out and get me a Liteon 165 as i use clone a lot for PSone titles and since i now have a Pioneer DVD-104 i was wondering if it will Clone PS2 DVD titles ... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm what a thought

 

[shadoe_phantom]

kenbitt, have a look at the console game section or DVD section here (I think they posted info on that)

Hey guys,

I have a _NEC DV-5800A. It came with my gateway computer. Does anybody have an idea what what the brand actually is?

ATIP scan

Does anyone have a recomendation for a CD-ROM which does NOT return ATIP information to SafeDisk or SecuROM?
