Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Recommendations for DVD-RAM cartridge drive?

cytune · 27-01-2007

Does anyone currently use a drive that accepts DVD-RAM cartridges or recommend one or where to buy one? I'm looking to use DVD-RAM revision 2.0/2.1 type 4 cartridges (9.4 GB double sided with removable disk in a cartridge).

While I'm at it, any recommendations on media as well? I found the above 3x (2.0) disks by Verbatim on rima.

As far as I can tell, Panasonic appears to be a popular choice but there's no subforum for Panasonic here. I base my DVD+R/RW decisions on information I find here so I'm hoping to find info on a good DVD-RAM drive as well.

I have a Pioneer DVR-111D drive already that supports 5x DVD-RAM but only for plain disks. Since I'm using this as part of a backup, I'd like to always keep the disks in cartridges rather than risk scratching them by taking them in and out of cases.
