Hi there,

It must be bad luck or something but both my CDRR and DVDRR have packed up on my PC. The CD R's been playing up for a wile, and now the DVDs gone the same way.

So......I was thinking that i might as well get 2 DVD RRs instead of one of each, is this a good idea?

Can you recommend me were to get them from?

Cheers:thumbup:

I'd go for a couple of NEC drives from Ebuyer.

The Pioneer ones don't seem to last as long. I've seen lots of them dying very quickly

I went for Plextor drives from OCUK when I built this PC, seem very reliable, its worth paying a bit more for reliability.

I had an NEC drive pack up after only a few months so would never use one again, but I seem to be the only person ever to have had any problem with one. I now have the same LG drive in both my PCs, because it was one of the cheapest and is also shorter than standard

I'm not sure there is a benefit to having 2 DVD drives in one machine. DVD backups 'on the fly' would be the only benefit and my experience of this is that depending on the spec of your machine it's either impossible to do or likely to generate coasters.
