From: David Chien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
As a result, when the data rate drops below 8x, the CDRW52A
will stop burning and a buffer underrun will occur as well as a bad disc. It
doesn't have buffer under run protection! The CRX85A, on the other hand, does
have it, so it doesn't mind - it will simply pause and wait until the Libretto
can catch up again, and then continue burning w/o any problems at all.
Thus, the important thing to keep in mind is to buy a CD-RW drive with buffer
underrun protection
Okay... I've seen the term 'burn-proof' bandied around to describe some CD buring drives. Is this what that's all about?
The CRX85A is a bit 'scary' sounding at first however - at 24x read speeds
off the disc, it sounds much like a mini-tornado whirling away and you really
do wonder if you should be so close to the drive.
Sounds right up my alley! I love a little excitement here and there.
But I couldn't find very much information on this drive on the net, or on the Sony website. What's the story there? Plus I didn't realize these are multi format readers, and read and play DVDs. The Libbys at 266 aren't going to deal with DVD play, are they? Seems I remember you're saying that wasn't going to happen.
Another surprise was the pricetag! I'll have to start saving my school lunch allowance!
Would you know of any drives that just support burning and reading CDs with the same affectiveness?
Matt
