Blu Ray burner brand advice
Hi Folks,
Getting ready to upgrade our PC, and just wondering which Blu Ray burner brand I should get? Saw this ad: Lite-On DH-4B1S-13 Lite-On DH-4B1S SATA Interface Blu-ray Disc Writer And I've heard of the Pioneer brand (from Videoguys) being good as well. Best, |
I don't have any knowledge of that unit. My short list had the Pioneer and the LG on it based upon reviews and feedback. I didn't get the same comfort level with Lite On, but I have no facts that would indicate it's a lesser quality.
I got the LG and although I've only burned six disks thus far, every one has been golden. |
I'm with Tripp. I have the LG as well and it's been perfect from day one, and very reasonably priced.
|
Thanks Guys,
Will have to look into the LG and the Pioneer then. Best, |

What about the SONY brand burners? What do you guys think of the SONY burners?
|
Lite-On is still a good brand itself, all my DVD writers is Lite-On and I've never had a problem. I'm looking at the "external" LG at the moment however if thats too expensive I'm just going to get a Lite-On. I have never been overly impressed with my LG writers though, I always judge a writer by how smoothly the door opens and of course if it never breaks.
|
Sorry if this just adds confusion but I have both the LG and Lite-on and would say there's little, if anything, to choose between them

I have a first-gen Sony Blu-Ray burner, the BWU-100A. It's good. I don't use it much.
It may not be the fastest on the block nowadays, but it will still burn a 50GB disc....and since I use it so infrequently, the amount of time it takes to burn a disc is not too concerning. However there's much faster SATA ones now, like the BWU-200s and (I believe) the BWU-300S. |
