Is LG CD-RW any good? Lite-On?

[svb]

I am buying a new CD-RW so:

1. How good CD writer is LG CD-RW 52/24X/52X (GCE-8520B) – in general and specially when it comes to burning different kind of protections? Is LG good choice if you want to burn protected files etc.?

2. Lite-On seems to be quite well liked: how does LG compare to Lite-On? Is LG as good as Lite-On or in what way does LG “loose” to Lite-On? What does LG lack or is there something very bad about LG in your mind?

3. Would you buy LG or Lite-On (52x models)? Why?

Thanks!

I would buy LiteOn. Because they are good, inexpensive and I have personal good experience with LiteOn CD-RWs

choose either between a liteon or a sony.

I like both of the brands you are considering....IMHO they are both top notch. I don't like sony because I had a 16X with them at one time and I burned so many coasters that I had to budget half of my income to buy replacement disks. Plus Sony's wouldn't play in my alpine car stereo. Anyways...I've had an LG for quite a while and it rawks. My other computer has a liteon 48X and it rawks. I'd go with the best priced one.

I can personally recommend the LG burners, I have not had one ounce of trouble with the 3 I have.

Lite on for the drive is pretty much a plextor quality drive but cheaper and smaller cache size.

F-DISK-Format-Reinstal DO DA!! DO DA!!

I have an LG in my computer and have never had a problem with it. Burned 4 1/2 50 pack cd-r's and every cd has come out perfect.

I've got a lite-on 52X CD-RW, and my first impression was how much noise it made to my older Ricoh 16X burner.
I don't if thats the case with all CD-RW running at this speed or if its just the lite-on.

All CD-RW's start to become noisy at 40x or higher speed

My LG 52x24x52 is quiet and fast. very happy with it. I use memorex CDrs (80min) and NEVER have a problem burning at 52x.

I have a slightly older 16X LG Burner, No probs whatsoever, supports all the different burning techniques (eg: Raw Writting) required to "Back-Up" copyright protected discs. even overburnt a few times without a hitch. great drive...writes to everything i have thrown at it including supermarket brands.
