DVD Writer

Hi,

I can gladly reccomend the Sony DRU-830A. I have a 820A and it is working great and all media that I have used is compatible. Remember to buy boxed one. Yet to have a failed write job....!

Other brands would be NEC and Lite-On if u can find one.

You shoudl get it(830A) around 2300Rs boxed. Lite-On and NEC will be around 2500Rs. But not sure about availability.

Close your eyes and buy the Sony (boxed) + bill + warranty.

go for a pioneer DVR model if can be found,they r g8

i am planning to buy dvd rw too how do u rate liteon?
and which is the best out of this
liteon 1900
lg 1800
samsung 1800
Asus Rs2400
Sony 1800
i am looking for best 1 under the price range of 1800 - 2500

naah not agian...might be my personal view...but many might support it.....who knwo abt DVD writers....

BENQ>>LITEON>>SONY

^^ totally agree with you brother , i just got a benq 1655 , u might wanna check out this review on cdrlabs.com

Spot on .BenQ has been rated to be the best in most reviews. But Lite-On is equally good , if not better .
BenQ is a bit costlier . Lite-On-SHW-1635S ( ~ 2350) would be my pick .

and what about asus? it is around 2400!
i think all dvd rw r equally good except samsung and lg their cd dvd/rw r worst i am never going to spend my money on it.

don waste money on samsung/lg.....rest all are nearly same

When all r same ...as u think....then picking best possible among the similar one's is clever thing to do

Avoid Asus, they have preference over better media.
Go for BenQ 1650, if available. Rest LiteOn

SONY IS THE BEST AS I NEVER haD PROBLEM WITH IT

benq DW 1655 OEM - costed me 2.2 k at nehru place

As Maverick says "Close your eyes and buy the Sony", I haven't had a failed write job yet either

Well that depends on the media dude .. don't tell me ur drive can burn a 16x supporting DVDr , costing 8 bucks ...

Anyway .. i can recommend Liteon ..

Dude !!! Buy a lite-on ... The sony comes next... I've been using sony since march... I write atleast 4-5 DVD's a week ... No probs till now..

Even I would have bought a Lite-On but couldn't find the latest in stock. So went for a Sony, and had no problems till now. I use all kinds of media, from 10Rs local stuff to 25Rs Original Sony media. No problemo.

And by the way, Sony DRU-830A can burn DVDRs at 18x... Match that!

Go For Sony Its The Best ..

Benq was not available here in mumbai i searched each and every electronic shop in Lamington road. may be people don't like it and other majour problem is its service center which is in Banglore so i purchased Sony-DRU-830A-DVD
i think it is the best dvd rw available in town! that is what expert says

fully paisa wasol
Price Rs2050 in lamington Road
DVD writing speed 18X thanx to new turbo speed technology
and it support almost all the dvd/cd format

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now can any body tell me what is the minimum price of any blank dvd? and which is the best blank dvd for writing media? at economical price!

ps: if u r in mumbai than do not purchase LiteOn or Benq as its service center is only in Banglore

yeah sony is the best

I think most eco is MoserBaer by cost per quality.

Sony........liteon............hp

@Maverick069 and what is it cost?

I THINK MOST PREFERABLE IS ONLY SONY AS MOSERBAER IS NOT HAVING SERVICE CENTERS + NOT A CHEAPER ONE COSTS 1950/- DELHI and sony DRU-830A costa you 1900/-so defenitely SONY

i just updated the firmware of sony and now getting better performance

yeah SONY GIVES YOU MAXIMUM POSSIBILITIES .... AND TOO a trusted brand ... everyone knows off and has local service centers too in all cities i think most of cities

i was not aware that MOSERBAER manufacture dvd rw too?

no thry manufacture but if they cannot give support and the product is to be sent to delhi or somewhere to be replaced to repaired the it will take 1 month coz dealers wont work as fast as we want them to!!!
but i dont think that they are worthy!!!!
