Just curious if anyone here has had any experience with this comanys OPtical Drives. I have a 52x24x52 CD-RW and a 16x DVD-ROM. The CD burner is incredibly fast (Burned a 615MB ISO in 1:59 with Alcohol) They also have great technical Support, My experience, they called me, just gave them my phone number via email.

I've never heard of them. How well does it copy "copy protected" cd's without emulation? I know that Liteon and Plextor are some of the best for that.

I have never really tried to copy, "copy protected" games, heh. I do rip a bunch of my Playstation games into ISO to use on emulator (it just looks so much better and supprts save states). I can rp a PSX ISO in 2min

I have heard of Pacific Digital before, but not much about him... lol, I am pissed with my dad because he just bought a HP DVD-RW and I told him to by a Lite-On but my dad didnt listen to me. The dvd's the thing burn are horrible

The lite-on would have been cheaper and better off of newegg. But of all brands HP? (which i am sure is just remarked from another manuf/ not sure who though)

What do you mean

That HP just puts thier logo on the drive, it is actually manufactored by another company.

you wont see anything. They could make their own, but I highly doubt it.

for dvd burners I would either choose a liteon or a NEC
