Teac dv-w50d vs Lg gsa 4040b

by **Har** on Sat Sep 13, 2003 9:02 pm

I can buy Teac for €200 and the Lg for €250, will be using it to backup files from my home computer specially the photos from my digital camera. I don't think the DVD-Ram si very important to me although I don't quite know what's the difference between all these formats. Just want a nice drive which won't be media outdated in a short time that's why I've chosen dual format.

Can anyone please give me an opinion!

There are plenty of comments about both drives in the forum. Do a search and see what people have had to say.

Since you stated that you didn't think the DVD-RAM function was important to you, then why pay €50 more for something you don't need? Besides the LG model currently doesn't have very good firmware support for 4X DVD-R burning, while the TEAC (an OEM of the Pioneer 106D) does. Another good candidate for your need is the NEC ND-1300A, which is probably much ceaper than both models that you are considering.

The NEC is more expensive than the TEAC. And I've read somewhere that it is rather picky about media types.
Is the DVD-RAm function important?
Is the DVD+-R/RW the future won't they create an intermediate format?
I would hate to discover in a few months I'd thrown my money out the window.

Only you can determine whether or not DVD-RAM is important. Do you have needs where DVD-RAM is the best choice?

I haven't heard of anyone working on an intermediate format. Most are just looking forward to the blue laser technology on the way.
