Sager 8890 FAQ - Page 2

I noticed in the link to the DVD/CDRW drive, it said something about having a capacity of only 653 MB. Does that mean it can't burn an 80 minute CD? Has anyone tried burning CDs yet with their 8900s? How has that experience been?

I to have a sager 8890 with a toshiba SD-R6112 and a SD-R2412. None of my drives burn DVD's. Can you recommend a DVD-R that is compatible with the 8890? I was looking at the SD-R6472 with master firmware. The only issue would be cosmetic due to the fact that the faceplates between the SD-R2412 and SD-R6472 are not interchangeable. The only faceplate available for the SD-R6472 is a black 12.7mm x 128mm. What do you think. Also, what would be a good burning software to use.

Thanks.

NEC ND-6500A/6550A are good drives that will work. About $80 here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Custra...82E16827152048

Now for software, it depends on what you are going to do. Here is a nice reference link that you may find of interest: http://www.videohelp.com/

Also the SD-R6472 is not all that great IMHO. Have one and replaced it with the NEC for greater compatability with various blank DVD Media.

Thanks, I'll look into it. My only question is will the NEC ND-6500A/6550A fit snugged in my sager 8890? And will their be a problem with the face plate?

Ask Aussie (in the 8890 thread - I think he recently replied to someone). I think he has two of them - the 6750's have come to markter and are about $70 at newegg.

EDIT: Here is the thread I was talking about: http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=59427

Nec 6750a

Does anybody know the difference between the NEC 6500A, 6650A and the 6750A. Do you know Aussie or G-Omaha?

Google is your friend. Go here: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters
and the type in the ND-model number and see the specs and writeups from various users.

Essentially the major differences are related to medias supported (-R DL & -RAM) and write speeds associated with various media.
