Which one? LTR-48246S or Asus CRW-5224A - Club CDFreaks

Schmerlag · 20-01-2003

been reading through your great posts for a few hours now and need to nail a decision. Doing a major system purchase in a few days to set up a massive games machine and wondering should I go for

- Lite-on LTR - 48246S 48x24x48x

Or

- Asus CRW-5224A 52x 24x 52x

I made a mistake buying a plextor 12/10/32TA last time (the bios was non-downgradeable) and wouldn’t copy stuff from max payne onwards. Can you guys please help me out with this one so i dont make the same mistake again? Which is the best drive to help me backup my copy protected games?

Maybe you should have a look at forum rules...

LiteOns are excellent for backing up copy protected games, not illegal stuff

Sori.. original post has been edited..

Been reading that lots of ppl are having probs with write errors on the latest Lite-on's. Perhaps the asus is more reliable?

I am also going to build another gaming rig in about 2 mnths & since you started this thread I'll toss out my question. I now have a Liteon 32123S XSOF. Price does not matter. What would be the best reader & best writer to help cover as many game prots as possible. (audio prots are not a big concern but I do a fair amount of audio backup also) OR is there one out there good enough to be both my reader/writer?
