Yamaha or Plextor?

[Guest]

I wanna buy a CD-RW and i have to chose betwen Yamaha 24x10x40 and an Plextor 24x10x40 and i'm not sure witch is better.
Ih heard that Plextor is better but it only have 4 mb buffer and the Yamaha have 8.
So i wish to see other opinions!

I think the Plextor has a 2mb buffer only. However, with technology like Burnproof these days, you need not worry so much about buffer underruns.
How do the prices compare? Plextor is long known for more reliable drives, but Yamaha isn't bad at all neither. Yamahas tend to be hotter when running.

I used both Yamaha and Plextor's drive. Both are great I will just get the cheaper one.
