Default don't buy any PHILIPS products & SONY ,LG Computer products.


don't buy any PHILIPS products & SONY ,LG Computer products.

maximum sony optical drives burst out the CDs n DVDs.
AND in the age of old they lost their sence.
for floppy drives sony gives 6 month warinty. but this time is to long for this kind of flop drives.

LG optical drives i ll say those hav no sence about cd, dvds.

here i ll sugest u go for samsung, lite-on, pioneer.

and PHILIPS has nothing good in thire products.

so go for everyone without PHILIPS.

true dude. I see no problems with the Sony DVD DL writers example. Anyone I have spoken to says that their drives are working perfectly. Its all a matter of personal choice.

Dude you shouldn't just flame companies for the sake of it. I have used Sony products since a long time without any complaints and the same with Phillips. On the other hand i have friends with loads of problems with the brands you suggested.

So its just a matter of opinion. If you had a genuine grouse against a particular product say so. Dont take it out on the whole brand. Your arguments dont hold water with me !!!

First question : Have you actually used all these drives that you are commenting on them so harshly ?

If no then shut up and let the guys at TC do their work.

I am using Samsung drives for the past 6 years and I don't have a problem.

Obviously lol, are the drives supposed to have 'sence' or the manufacturers.

Oh and for your spellings do read this. Hope it helps you.

I'm using a Sony CD-writer for the past 3 years. I have written over 500 CD's with it and it has not produced a single coaster ever. It has read badly scratched discs which no other drive has been able to read. One isloated incident dosen't make it a bad product. You probably used cheap quality media which caused it to "burst out". Don't blame the drive.

Samsung CD drives invariably gets tray closing problem. This is not the case with LG, which I am using for last 3 yrs. I also have a samsung CD drive purchased in 2000 which I use. I doesn't have a tray problem. When u open and close these trays you immediately realise the qualitative difference. In case of LG and the Samsung one frm 2000 the tray closes with a "hydraulic" smoothness. In the other Samsung drives, it closes with a jerk - starts abruptly and stops abruptly. The quality of the tray is also poor. I think Samsung uses some kind of cheap components to make the drive tray mechanism.

Well, my Samsung Combo Drive's Tray and Lens have gone bad

I had a Sony and a CD burst in it.....and I think it was because the CD was so old and I tried to force 52X reading on it by holding the eject button. The Sony writer was excellent though. Not a single coaster and was turbo fast.

Now I'm going to try LG....hopefully I wont suffer in another 6 months

Donno what makes you think that way !!!
I have never used Philips products but LG & SONY have never given me any problems.
Samsung drives are really problematic. I still remember those stacks of CD's which I wasted while burning them on Samsung drives.

I think its all a matter of the piece that you get. I have had a bad trip with the LiteOn dvd drive but my friend has one which is working perfectly. I have an LG drive right now and some others are cursing em'. Its all a matter of getting that particular piece which lasts forever...(forever = a few years)

My friend had a Sony which had a slight tray closing problem, but one day, he was angry and he pushed the tray HARD. After that the bug was fixed! :-\ (Unsure)

Yes, they suffer from frequent Buffer underrun problems.

Samsung drives are the no.1 in problems. Sony is perhaps the best. It rocks and i am using it for the past two years.

@KHUBBU:

A CD did burst in my Sony CD Writer back in 2004. My PC-walla saw it and he said that mine was the first Sony drive he has seen which suffered this problem. Unlucky me.

@netjunkie: Yes, you are correct about Buffer Underrun Errors. This is because Samsung drives are EXTREMELY sensitive to the media used. Moserbaer, Sony and some such media wont do. You need Maxell, HP or Plasmon media for Samsung drives to do their thing proper.

Samsung rocks.. but the drives have trayin problems... LG ihas got good trayin subsystem but their read quality is ery poor... Sony is good and if you wanna buy DVD ROM/RW then definitely go for Liteon or Benq

I had personal experience with these drives (Phillips dont know never bought a drive from this manufacture)
