necbone Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Just posting this here because you guys seem to know your stuff.... been scouring the internets trying to find out what is the best drive, but the only thing I've found out is that, there is no super awesome drive... People are saying that if it's DL burning, then it should work.... I'm trying to find out which drive is super duper awesome in its burning capabilities for backing up 360 games.... I'm mainly focusing on newegg stuff.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106333&cm_re=dvd_burner_internal-_-27-106-333-_-Product reviewed highly http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106335&cm_re=dvd_burner_internal-_-27-106-335-_-Product people are saying this drive is a rebadged optiarc

eSkRo Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) i've had a little talk with Cynthia on Dual Layer burning and she recommended me: Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7240 $22.99 Free Shipping* This is a real NEC chipset drive unlike the 7220, which was a liteon... here --> http://fwd4.me/Idy Edited March 22, 2010 by eSkRo
dontasciime Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Me ..I would try and find a New Pioneer 111, 112, 115, 116* If at all possible. Slim but you never know I don't like my optiarc 7240s for 360 using Verbs MKM-000-01 been awhile and there might now be a new firmware(there will have been a few surely) which improve writing as mine is from march 2009 and probably still using the initial firmware
