Not true at all. Sony DRU 820 is a decent drive and you shouldn't have any problems with it. Price should be Rs. 2400.

BENQ DW 1650/1655 ......myself using 1650...excellent...sony do not make those drives so y opt for them....if not BENq go for liteon

 

[samrulez]

Try Sony DRU 820 A........its quite good enough.....And quite cheap,...

Sony DRU 820A is rebaged BenQ 1670. I'd suggest BenQ 1650 (better that BenQ 1670).

If you brand limited person go for sony dru 820a . Box should cost around 2.6k i guess, oem will cost 2.3k ..Else benq 1650 is a great buy. Also lg h10 a is too good at 1.9k

 

[casanova]

Yes sony dvd writer is good and is cheap also.

i heard sony does not write in local brand DVDs ..... i mean it sometimes shows some error like wrong media inserted !!!!!!!!!

is it true ??????????

ok .. I have got benq dw 1640 and lite on shm 165p6s ...frankly, for practical use lite on is better than benq .. benq doesn't like dvd -r media .. but works wonderfully well with dvd +r media .. lite on does well with both..


also i just got LG GSM H10 N.. for 2000rs for a friend ... very good drive ..reliable, also it has 10x dvd+r dual layer and 12x dvd ram .. its a different thing that dvd ram is not available in india .. but its a solid drive .. burns any media under 6 minutes with good writing quality .. and only costs 2000rs .. i am getting one this week ...

hey wizrulz , remember me .. how's ur benq working ? does it work well with those cheap dvd -r medias .. let me know ..

I have a Sony DRU 810A. I have tried different cheap media (Rs.11-15) and even after burning several ones, not even single disc went waste.

My BenQ works good with cheap writex media (DVD-R, 14 bucks) oh, its 1650 by the way.. The 1640 had some problmes with DVD-R and Dual layer disks.

 

[royal]

My vote goes for BENQ 1650 you won't regret buying it

 

[neyo]

is BENQ 1650 a dual layer dvd writer. now i'm all confused as to which drive to buy. which drive do u guys vote for? thanks a lot again.

Sony DRU 820A is rebaged BenQ 1670. I'd suggest BenQ 1650 (better that BenQ 1670).

what do u mean? i mean sony will make their own drives and benq its own. whats with rebaging. can u explain in detail. thanks a lot.

hey wizrulz , remember me .. how's ur benq working ? does it work well with those cheap dvd -r medias .. let me know ..

Yeha i remember u yogi....BENQ 1650 working fine..absolute no problems...are there any TWEAKS/SETTINGS for DVD writer for improvin performance???

@neyo
REbaging means just they chage the front name form benq to sony adn sell those...

i own a liteon.its blazingly fast in writing.but i am thinking about buying a LG now.because so many original DVDs fail to run in my liteon.My previous drives were all LGs n they gave decent troublefree service 4 many years.
between sony n liteon,get sony.....lets forget all technicalities....
