Which DVD Combo Drive ????

[Deleted member 5901]

Hey if ur low on budget i would say that go in for a DvD Combo !! if it does get spoilt in the warranty period it can be repaired !! and the Lens of all drives wat ever it may be get weak !!! BY te way i think the price difference is around 400 - 500 rupees !!! an optical drive has a life of between 800 - 1500 cds reading or writing !!!(this means a whole reading and writing cycle !!! ) And the ASUS / SONY / LITe on combo drives r the best !! for budget go in for samsung / LG i dont recmnd either !!

NE WAY ITS wat u want to do in the end !!!

TAKE MY SUGGESTION DO WAT U FEEL!!!
EVERYONES JUST CONFUSING U!!!

It's better that u buy a DVD rom and CD writer seperately. There may be problem with lens later on and it's better to have two ROMs instead of one and it costs a 200-300rs more....
See:
DVD Rom drive = rs. 1400
CD writer = rs. 1250
Total = 2700rs. or so
Combo drive = Rs. 2500

I dont understand the point int this. I use my ASUS DVD RW for read-write CDs and read-write DVDs.
Its not a point of extra 300 for me. But I woudn't go for 2 drives when I can get a combo. Combo drives become problematic when you choose a bad brand ( Samsung is definitely one )..
Otherwise ... they last. Even if you get 2 drives, a DVD drive and a CD writer --- thinking that one ROM will have lens failure , I think that there are equal chances that both will fail in time...Then it would be time to go for a new drive.

As long as you take care of your drive and keep it clean, it will last.

I think 144 is correct THERE !!!
THERE IS NO GARUNTEE THAT BUYING 2 SEPERATE DRIVES will BE HELPFUL !!!
NEWAY UR THE PERSON 2 DECIDE !!!

CHeers !!!

Hmm, i already posted in the thread, and i am again repeating:

Combo drive = Rs. 2500

U will have to pay some 200-300 rs. more but u get a two optical drives. GEt two drives (CD-RW and DVD rom).

IF ur getting the PRICES above then go in for the cd-writer & dvd rom driv seperately!!! COZ Rs 200 dosent mke a difference !!!! BUT IF NOT THEN GO IN FOR THE COMBO AND Dont get confused !!!

@ drgrudge is right. Suppse u buy a combo drive and get some sort of problem(ok sony fans think it doesnt give any problem but lets just assume that it does) then wat ? u will have to go to ur service vendor 4 repairing. and i dont think it will take any less than atleast 2 days. So u dont have a cd/Dvd rom and a cd writer 4 2 days!
the other way round- if u have problem with one drive then u can play atleast the cds in another drive(if the dvd drive goes bad).
and it would be very unlikely that the 2 drives will go wrong at the same time. So just 4 a matter of 200-300 bucks u get a real good advantage. and yes i have just assumed that the drive takes 2-3 days to be repaired. If it takes longer then u will suffer BIG time!. so just go 4 2 drives instead of a combo.

 

[Deleted member 5901]

hey u forgot to assume that the drive could b repaired in a day !!!!

So sorry u WRONG !!!!

CHEERS !!!!!!

 

[Biplav]

[yah even if u do then also ur time is wasted! ok?]

 

[Biplav]

And anyways its asumed on the general curcumstances. More or less its very rare to get it repaired in a day . So if u Get it u are lucky , But what i am saying is why take chances?

 

[Deleted member 5901]

hey "if there is no risk there is no gain" !!

remember this always !!!!!

 

[Biplav]

wat?????

r u nuts ?u seem to just put watever u get. wat gain ll u get by bying a combo instead of 2 drives.
