That Que! CD-RW drive (24x10x40) at Fry's...

Dave_7 · 08-18-2001, 11:55 PM

Ok, I'd like to know if any of you would venture to get one of these (Que! 24x CD-RW) drives instead of a PlexWriter 16x10x32 for nearly the same price?

It's $80 less than the TDK 24x10x40x drive. Is it the same drive?

Dave.

call me a putz, but i don't think they make cd's over 16x... unless of course your just prepping for the future...

I believe clutchy was refering to the 16x media. I'm not sure they make blank cd's that burn at 24x either. AT least i haven't seen them around.

I've seen some out. I think TDK makes some.....

That's a good point. I do use THEE cheapest of the cheap CD-R's in my PlexWriter 12x and burn at 12x all day long without making coasters.

I wonder if the 16x (at least) will afford me the same luxury?

i was reading somewhere that the 24x burners take like 4 minutes as opposed 5+ for the 12x'ers. i really see no point in upgrading just yet, that 12 is a beast. I'd upgrade when dvd-r's go down in price or wait till cd-rw get into the 50+ burning speeds...

1. you're going to pay more for a new burner.
2. you're going to pay a premium for the new coasters that would make your purchase worthwhile.

my money would be spent elsewhere.
