Yep H3rB3i, though I can only play with the Pio, as the Sammy has to wait until Christmas!

@rolling - I got next-day delivery, but it hasn't arrived yet (only ordered them like 20 minutes ago LOL)

Gosh, now that Arachne's getting all new drives [not replacements!], it looks like I have to get a few external enclosures, a PCIe USB 2.0 card [of course with a controller chip by NEC ], hopefully find an Optiarc, a Pioneer, and maybe the odd older NEC drive...and I'll be golden.

Why does this seem like it's going to be the Christmas when NEC takes over my computer? all those items have NEC chipsets...

I've never bought even a single bus, so drives are not like buses for me.

Bought various stuff from Nierle, including:

Ricoh DVD+R 16x (RICOHJPN R03 004) (Candidate for cheap everyday burns)
LaserCompany DVD-R 8x Printable (OPTODISCR008) (Just for fun)

First Ricoh disc burned OK in my Pioneer 112D (scans not exceptional) but I don't know if my picky DVD player will like it yet. The scans are telling me that the Pioneer might now have optimal strategy for this media, so perhaps someone familiar with this media could suggest which drives are best for RICOHJPN R03 004? (My drives: LiteOns, BenQs, Plextors, Pioneers, NECs, Optiarcs).

Smartypants

I use a lot of RICOHJPN R03

The drives I burn them on aren't in your collection, though: LG and Sammy

Although I adore using R03 004, I only have the LiteOn and BenQ. And both burned reliably.... [LH-20A1P, LH-20A1H, DW1640]. Most often 12x was the sweet spot. And my picky Xbox loves them [just about the only DVD+R it will use, even when not bitset].

@ Arachne: I never got my SH-S182M to like them all that much, and my 4166B doesn't seem to much like any of my 16x media...although my Sony likes them well enough.

Yep, looks "liek" it.

8x? on the 182M? Surely, you jest!

Seriously, all speeds on that drive generally yielded similar results across my media [except 18x, which kinda took the PIE up towards the end of the burn]. But now that I remember, it wasn't that bad. Just, my other drives seemed to do better with it.

But then, my Sammy always was an odd ducky to me. There's just something about how it stayed consistent across speeds....

/me blows a raspberry at Albert

Yep! I pretty much never burn at top whack unless I'm testing a drive or trying new media.

OK...maybe I'll try them with my Litey for curiosity's sake

I would install my 182M and burn one from each of my batches for curiosity's sake, but the Z-CLV 8x and CAV 12x of the Sony is fine for me.
