What DVD Burner are you using in your PC?

What DVD Burner are you using in or with your PC?

This thread could be a help to those starting out or wanting to replace a defective burner. I currently am using:

PLEXTOR PX-740A Internal and a
PLEXTOR PX-716A Internal

I replaced my Plextors with Pioneers a while back. The Plextors crapped out , and after years of "bleeding Plextor colors", it seems they shit the bed and are now made by someone else and they aren't very good.

Sad.

Geez, Plextor did turn to crap; how's the Pioneer units behaving so far and are they 115s?

Actually they're 112's. So far they've been fine.

I still have a workable Plextor 708A. It's a nice unit, but too fussy about what media it will burn.

A few months ago I decided it was time for a dual-layer burner and purchased a Pioneer 112. Just love it! Burns everything perfectly so far.

Now I mostly use the Plextor for burning CD discs, and the Pioneer for everything else.

The LG's work great. If you pay anymore than $40 for a burner these days you are paying too much. No fuss. Hundreds of burns. No coasters.

At $40, I can limit my troubleshooting to using ball peen hammers.

Good to hear! My new computer came with a Pioneer DVR-112D burner. Though I still have yet to try it out. If there any issues, I will report back.
