Does anyone know of any drives that just do recording, not re-writeableing?
I would think they'd be cheaper, I'm curious.

Good question! I never use my re-write capability of my Plextor Burner. That would be nice if they had just a standard burner that just writes!

Hope someone has seen it!!

My friend had an panasonic cdr that does not have re-write. It was cheaper then re-writable that time but still cost him over $200.

They definately used to, my first on was a jvc xr2010 (scsi) 4x read and 2x write LOL (could have been 6x read, i forgets), but yes, not everyone wants a rewrite facility, but from a manuf point of view- its another feater to offer.....

Once upon a time ;) there were CDR drives that didn't rewrite. But AFAIK every CDR above 8x is a CDRW - the added cost must be insignificant (added core logic really).

Yeah, I agree. There would be little or no difference in price.

yay

i used a rewritable CD last nite.

tried my single 4x-10x ricoh cd that was supplied with my ricoh drive to back up all my utilites & drivers i have installed.
mmm went wonderfully.

i may not use the RW feature again... but its still nice to have. the opportunity to add stuff or erase and start again on a high quality cd is not to be sniffed at. good data security incase things go titsup.com.au. LOL

I'll respect your comments & opinions, even if i disagree with them, Provided you display maturity.
