can any one help me out
i wont to copy on the fly with my plextor 24x cd writer and i was wondering which is the best cd rom drive to use and what the best program.

I have a liteon 52x CDROM and i was going to use it for on the fly copying,thing is it will only read audio at 14x so this was no good for writing audio at 40x.Ended up getting a liteon 40x writer and using that,40x on fly same channel no probs.

so your reading with the 52x liteon cd rom and burning on the liteon 40x cd writer.
how long does it take to backup a game

any one else think the lite on cd rom drive is the best if not what is?

The best bet by far for OTF Data & Audio burning is the LiteOn Ltd-163 DVD drive, it has better DAE than any drive I know of and would have no problem whatsoever keeping up with a 24X Plex, works fine for me doing data @ 40X OTF with my LiteOn 40125.

The LiteOn 52-6 is a very good reader for data, but the DAE is nowhere near as good as it's big brother the DVD drive. ;) So not the best for audio copying.

Check out www.cdspeed2000.com/ for plenty more test results on these and other drives.

My understanding is that funnyfarm said he uses 2 lite-on CDRW drives one as the source drive.

cheers Lazza
i have been reading the results and they are the best so i think i will be getting one of these

More or less right m8,i'm using a LITEON 40x12x48 fo reading and a TEAC 540E for writing,i can't understand why the liteon CDROM ltn526 ain't up to it it can be reading some audio just suddenly stop and you see the buffer in NERO dissapear.Could it be because it's on the primary as slave?i've now got the 2 writers on the same channel and have no probs.
does'nt Nero recommend the reader is reading 3x faster than the writer is writing to avoid underuns.
