Ok, thanks for all your support on my Sony 4x burn problem (those f**kers) but I'm throwing in the towel on my 500a. I'm gonna get another drive. I've narrowed down my selection to plextor and nec. The cheapest I found on nec is 70.00 and the cheapest I found for the plextor is 145.00. Which of the two is more reliable, I'm more concerned about reliability than price. They both claim a 8x dvd-r burn (I've heard that one before) but plextor claims a 12x dvd+r. Do these drive live up to their burning claim.
Are they picky on what media type to use in order to achieve ther 8x claim. Is the media they use costly.
I'll be using your comments on the two drives to make my final decision, so don't leave any info. untold

If you grant your Sony at a reasonable price, then I am willing to buy your "broken" drive... cause I'm almost sure that it's not broken.

I say anything but plextor!!! If you read around you will find that plextor went down hill on DVD burners the quality went out the window. I have Optorite and I have no problems with it so I can't give you any input in the nec. But you will find a lot of members like the pioneer 107. Also I have to agree with scarecrow and I would bet that the drive isn't broken. :)
