DVS vs. Sony CD-RW

[yardape13]

I found a DVS 16x10x40 CD-RW for $90, and a Sony one for $120. Is DVS a decent brand?

Forgot the mention the Sony CD-RW has "Burnproof" whatever that is.

Burnproof is what you really need with CDRW's at that sort of speed. I'd go for Sony, I've never heard of DVS and Sony's a decent make and not a huge amount more, plus it's burnproof!

Burnproof, just so you know, is a method by which the CDRW drive can suspend the CD burning method if the computer is too busy to supply the data to the drive. Non burnproof drives mean that if you do anything else on the PC whilst burning a CD that interrupts the dataflow to the CDRW drive, then the drive can't stop burning whilst it waits for data, so you get a 'buffer underrun'. This makes the CD useless (or a 'coaster'). You need to start burning over again with another CD.

Hope that's useful!
