Dual Layer Burners

You blokes obviously don`t know that Sony bought out Liteon a while back
?

But of course. I've been buying nothing but Sony CD drives for years,
because they've always been 100% reliable - not a single failure. Well,
not
until they started selling Liteon drives with the Sony label on them.
Once
that happened, I've started seeing failures from them (even relatively new
drives), while I still haven't seen a failure in any of the older drives.

At the risk of needing flame proof gear, I agree 100% with Steve.
I have a Sony CD burner in each of my computers for yonks and have never had
an ounce of drama with any of them.
I decided to install a Sony DVD burner and in nearly a year of service have
never had problems there either.
I only use Nero, (now 6 ultra)and Elby Clone CD and DVD2. There is nothing I
can`t burn.
Last week I installed the new Sony dual layer burner that sure looks like a
Liteon but as I havn`t had it for long I can`t say if it will be as trouble
free as the other Sony burners I own. I run XP Pro with SP1 and my computers
are pretty quick.

dont get offended people... thats just pathetic.... its mere opinion

You said :

" Definitely go with Lite-on. great dual layer burner at a cheap
price. nec is junky in my experience and sony is same quality at a
higher price "

Evidence has it, that clearly it is the case that you have no
experience of the NEC3500.

You are entitled to your own opinion . . . . but you can not have your
own truth. You have never compared the two. Please, at least, go and
read some reviews on the subject and get some enlightenment.

People who jump in like this with misleading and uninformed advice
have never backed up anything but their homework.

Up to this point in time I have had a good run from the Sony brand burners.
I have 5 of them mounted in my main computers and one mounted in an external
USB case which gets a bit of use backing up other folks data for them. I
have no complaints with these CD burners.
I have used a Sony DVD burner for nearly a year now and it has well and
truly earned it`s keep, trouble free.
None of this means a hill of **** to the poaster as he is asking about Dual
Layer burners.
I feel confident in steering him toward Sony because the limited amount of
use my DRU-700A has had up to this point, has been good.
The poaster needs to know that his computer plays a major part in how well
his burner will perform and his choice of burning software is equally
critical for good trouble free burning. His choice of media is also
important, though his local blank supplier should be able to advise him
there.
The poaster should also ask himself if he really needs a dual layer burner.

The HP 7100 and 9x00 series were made by Sony. I owned and used several.
AFAIK, all of them are still in functioning condition.
I've owned a few Lite-On CD burners, all of which seemed a little loud, but
they worked well.

My choices for a DVD burner would be Pioneer, NEC, and Plextor.

Does Plextor have a dual layer burner ?

I looked at the reviews and bought a Pioneer 108.
