hello

its time for me to get a new dvd burner and after doing some research ive narrowed my choice to 2 sata drives:

1. pioneer 216D
2. optiarc 7200S


Absolute prority is quality of audio cd burning cos this is exactly what i mainly use my burner for. speed doesnt matter - i burn at 16x and media i use is verbatim azo. btw whats the minimal speed those drives can burn cds at? i cant find that info nowhere.. anyway ill be really grateful for any feedback helping me to make a right choice. thanks.

Did you do any research on the AD-7240S or the DVR-217D? Those are newer models you might want to consider. In any event, if it's a choice between the two you listed, I'd go with the Optiarc.

I'd go with pioneer, my car's stock cd player reads discs written only with pioneer dvdrws and lite-on cd-rws.

unfortunately 217d and AD-7240S are still not avaiable here in europe at least not in my country (poland) and im not sure if there is any point in waiting for them to show up. i checked quality scans here and they dont show any major improvement compared to 216d and 7200s.
