Hello, "Danzig Glenn":

Panasonic, from my extensive online research, appears to produce the top DVD
and CD (IDE) recorders, and they're among the most affordable, too. They've
always excelled at DAE (i.e, digital audio extraction), whereas, their
competitors' offerings have often been faulty in this particular area.

Japan's Matsu****a is the parent company of Panasonic, as well as other
well-known electronics brands (Technics, Quasar, etc.). OEM (original
equipment manufacturer), also called "bare", versions of Matsu****a's
DVD/CD computer drives are distributed, minus the "Panasonic" label; they
typically lack "burning" software, cables, and printed documentation. As a
result, such devices are significantly cheaper than their fancily-packaged
"retail" counterparts.

For instance, I recently made an online purchase (from LiveWarehouse
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/livewarehouse) of the Matsu****a (OEM)
SW-9571-CYY (a.k.a., Panasonic LF-D521) "Multi-Drive." At a mere $148 (U.S.
dollars), plus free shipping, it's a genuine bargain. I'd already bought
Nero 5.5.10.x (full CD; $9.99, total), off eBay http://www.ebay.com,
a few days before.

This superior combination of hardware/software amounted to a paltry
$157.99! (Neither has arrived, yet, however.) The SW-9571-CYY, with its
capabilities of writing to DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM/CD-R/CD-RW, must be the
most versatile specimen of its type, available today.

It seems that a relatively small number of non-Matsu****a drives currently
support DVD-RAM, but, it's largely considered the best solution for data
storage purposes. It can be rewritten up to 100,000 (versus other media's
1,000) times, and in Windows, allows the disc to be used the same way as
a hard disk. That is, files can be saved via the "drag-and-drop" method,
without the need of installing potentially flaky "packet-writing" software.

Incidentally, the SW-9571-CYY will replace a CW-7586-B (4x8x32 CD-RW), and
my DVD-ROM is a 5x32 SR-8583. Both of these latter puppies are Matsu****a
OEM models, so...as you can see, I practice what I preach. :-)

Good luck!


Cordially,
John Turco

but in hw are the same just under name, right??

I have found as Panasonic named...at....about 240euro (about 230/250 $
depending of monetary change of moment...just for have an idea )

yep searching in the web i have just see that it's the one to write on
dvd-ram to
but lack in burning DVD+RW/+R

Incidentally, the SW-9571-CYY will replace a CW-7586-B (4x8x32 CD-RW), and

just a curiosity=)....did you have do a test of cd burned with it with

Plextor has long been regarded as the "king" of SCSI, while I was
referring strictly to IDE machines. Note, also, that Yamaha exited the
CD-R/RW market, earlier this year (2003).

Japan's Matsu****a is the parent company of Panasonic, as well as other
well-known electronics brands (Technics, Quasar, etc.). OEM (original
equipment manufacturer), also called "bare", versions of Matsu****a's

Correct.

For instance, I recently made an online purchase (from LiveWarehouse

Sorry, I only deal with U.S. dollars. G

This superior combination of hardware/software amounted to a paltry
$157.99! (Neither has arrived, yet, however.) The SW-9571-CYY, with its
capabilities of writing to DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM/CD-R/CD-RW, must be the
most versatile specimen of its type, available today.


But lack in writing


Well, I guess I was a bit premature, in praising the SW-9571-CYY's
vaunted "versatility." I just stumbled upon this Web article, from April
1, 2003:

PCWorld.com - Hitachi Unveils Do-It-AllDVD/CD Recorder
http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,110087,tk,dn040103X,00.asp

Here's the gist of it:

"The GSA-4040B can record to DVD-R and DVD+R discs at 4X speed, DVD-RW
discs at 2X, DVD+RW at 2.4X, and DVD-RAM at 3X. It is also capable of
recording to CD-R discs at 24X and CD-RW discs at 16X, according to
the manufacturer."

It was supposed to be released in June, by the way. Although, elsewhere,
I've read that it will be mainly limited to "OEM customers" (initially,
at least). Hitachi and Korea's LG Electronics - which changed its name
from "Goldstar", in 1995 - "jointly developed and produced the drive
under the name HLDS (Hitachi LG Data Storage)."

Previous line quoted, from he

CD Freaks.com - Various DVD Multi Drives and LG DVD+RW Drives in 2003
http://club.cdfreaks.com/archive/topic/58354.html

It seems that a relatively small number of non-Matsu****a drives currently
support DVD-RAM, but, it's largely considered the best solution for data
storage purposes. It can be rewritten up to 100,000 (versus other media's
1,000) times, and in Windows, allows the disc to be used the same way as

without the need of installing potentially flaky "packet-writing" software.

See above.

Incidentally, the SW-9571-CYY will replace a CW-7586-B (4x8x32 CD-RW), and
my DVD-ROM is a 5x32 SR-8583. Both of these latter puppies are Matsu****a

program that search for jittering error and other...for know how good

No, I haven't run any true tests on the CW-7586-B's recorded discs. I'm
simply happy that it hasn't yielded any "coasters", yet! g

Good luck!


Thanks!

Best Greetings to you!


You, too.

Yep...but...It's not my real name eheh

Tsk, tsk. Please, rest assured that my name is the "real McCoy",
ironical as that may sound. :-D
