the inner tracks always burn at a slower speed.

do not get sony(aka liteon), i have had a couple of 'em die because the laser went out.

switched to pioneer, everything has been great... just ran a 150 of the new taiyo-yuden 16x's thru it, no problems.

Well, I went with the PLEXTOR 716AL Great Burner. Incredibly easy it install. Love it. Thanks Bob
