xaudiox Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 what is the best DVD+R DL burner to buy for my Dell XPS 200, it's a slim drive and my other other one doesn't write DVD+R DL disks. In general Pioneer drives with verbatim media are hard to beat for DL burning ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Slim burners are rubbish: you'll have better quality burns if you get a normal-sized burner and put it in an external enclosure. For the burner an Optiarc AD-7240S is great. By the way, if you're going for Pioneer as per xaudiox's suggestion, don't get the DVR-118/DVR-218 ones because they aren't good burners (the 116/117/216/217 are the good stuff).

Would you buy a burner like this? DVR-X162Q Qflix External DVD/CD Writer, I have a slim external LG GP08 already and i tried burning with IMGBURN and it wont do it so please help me out and help me try to burn DVD+R DL disks.

Cynthia Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Looks a bit overpriced if you don't need the Qflix function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berryarecool Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Looks a bit overpriced if you don't need the Qflix function. I can get it for 50 dollars on ebay, you think I should or do you have to recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Aha, the price I saw was around 100 $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 From what I can understand it's based on the models 116/216, so it should be a nice drive. Another option is to get a regular SATA/IDE and put it in an external USB case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your help, I really don't know much about burners and I dont want to make another mistake like I did when Im burning DVD+R DL disks.

Jim44 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 If you're in the US, I like Newegg.com for most computer parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm in the US and I get my burners from Newegg. Have for the last 2 or 3 NEC drives I've gotten from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
