A new burner ???

[tonysmith1929]

Hi folks. Can anyone tell me if LG burners are any good. Am thinking of buying one (UK) at around £40 which can read and write RAM discs, so I can copy my own DVD players RAM discs on my PC.....It also does DL- discs, sorry do not have model number yet.... Thanks.

I've used an LG DVDRAM GSA-4163B for over a year now. It works just fine. Originally I wanted it for the 16x and the RAM ability, but I've found that I don't use the RAM much.

Thanks Chewey...Didnt realise there were so many makes available. Need USB2 and dont want adapter case, so will stick with LG.....Thanks.

the new LG's are very good

[tonysmith1929]

Are LG likely to need firmware updates ??????

[Chewy]

Unfortunately all burners seem to need that sooner or later, LG is good about supporting their drives. As long as it says LG, and some other company hasn't bought it and relabeled it(like HP).

Thanks. Now I am utterley confused. Have seen LG website, there seems to be 3 USB drives Gsa-4166b (only for portable PCs) 2166D and 2164D, but I dont need or want Litescribe !!!!!only a good D/L and RAM reader/burner !!!!

What does Chewey think of this LG, the AVI to DVD would be usefull.
