Hi Dion,
We had one lecturer in one dept go out & buy one. He had to get it
replaced within a very short period of time. Here at the IT Dept we only
recommend the following brands of CD-RWs - Yamaha, SONY, Aopen or Plextor
brands. There are some other brands out there that no doubt work just as
well ( & there are also some real lemons!! ) the main reason we selected
these 4 is that we have tested them & found them to meet our requirements.
You might want to try having a look at the Aopen CD-RW drives. They are
reasonably priced & work well (I've got one myself :) ).
