A salesman told me that the Sony DRU 820A Dvd Writer is not good.He said that its laser burns out in abt an year or more.He told me to buy a samsung model,But i didnt.i postponded buying the dvd writer to get you guys advice.So is this true abt the sony writer??
It's rather the otherway round. In a year's time Samsung drives go kaput. Most of them either develop a tray problem or some problem with lenses. The shopkeeper is misguiding you cos he maybe getting better profits on Samsung drives.
I haven't used a Sony drive but have heard good things about it. As for Samsung, I have personally experienced the horror of Samsung drives. If you don't believe me just make a search on this forum and you will gets long stories of tragadies of people who bought Samsung drives.
NEVER EVER EVEN DREAM OF BUYING A SAMSUNG DRIVE
Just limit the word samsung to Displays, nothing more nothing less.
820 or in the real world BENQ 1670 is not built on the phillips chipset and has some minor SolidBurn issues but else its just fine...
the dealer is misleading u, i myself have 820 a sony dvd writer and i havent faced any problem till now
I didnt beliebe him too.
But I wanted to chk it out to make it sure,So which one is the best of the DVD writers??
SAMSUNG IS THE WORST AT OPTIC DRIVES!
I have a samsung drive and it keeps giving me CRCs every second!
Go for Sony,BenQ,Lite-on!
Man, get Pioneer, nothing else. Its rock solid over Sony, worth the extra cash!
Which model??
the problem is no one else than u is saying pioneer is good!!
So you guys say If i can get pioneer its a better option than sony dru820a??
K,Gr8.I can go for a pioneer one.Which model is good ??
^^why don't u go 4 a lite-on dvd writer??
is pioneer better than a lite-on dvd writer??
Coz its not available in sri lanka
No known problem with my friends for sony Dru 820A
But I got sony DW-Q120A and in a month it cannot read most of disks which my old samsung combo drive can read
My dealer says It is due to bad M/B chipset
HE BLAMES AMD for the problem
I know it is silly!! isnt it?
Your writer model is available in here too.
Tomorrow I will buy a pioneer drive
Thanks for everybody's help guys.With the advices of everyone of you,I thought which one to buy.Poneer or sony.But at last I decided to buy pioneer.Thanks again for giving everybodies attention towards me.thanks for the help guys.
I bought a pioneer drive.The model is pioneer DVR-111D.If somebody have anything to quote about this drive,dont be panic,just let it out
Never ever, even in your scarest dreams think abt Samsung optical drives/HDD. Sony DRU-820A is a best one. I'm using one myself.
