hi
i have a liteon ltr24102b https://<a href="http://www.liteonit...w24102.htm</a>
it has only 2mb buffer but i think its enough
according to elby(creator of clonecd) https://<a href="http://www.elby.ch/...tml#liteon</a> it has efm
i can commend this one to you
i think the newer cd-writers from liteon have the same features but they are faster -> why not buy a liteon? ( they are cheap, too, i think)

LiteOn CD-Recorders are the best to copy SafeDisk 2.x

Before I bought my new LiteOn 32123S, I informed myself on the CloneCD HP which recorder is the best to handle SafeDisk 2.x.
As no other manufactor of cd-recorders LiteOn got the best results in making a perfect 1:1 copy of a CD. But as more and more Games-CDs are protected with the new version of SecuROM and ProtectCD 5 the better software for making a 1:1 copy is Alcohol 120%, because it is able to scan the physical structure of the original-CD and emulate it in a virtual cd-drive.

look at my second link to see if the recorder you 've picked out has efm
the one i have has only 24x -> look for a faster one

I own a LTR-40125S, and it is a pretty kick ass burner!!! I would recommend you get this. It also has full buffer-underrun and correct efm encoding.

[NeTsurFer]

I own the Plextor 2410TA ... pretty nice thing ... just a bit more expensive than the liteon brother

[Copytrooper]

Iґve a LiteOn 24102B and a LiteOn 40125W ocґd to 48125W ... the LiteOn drives are good and cheap, but Plextor drives are very good ... unfortunately they lack the perfect EFM encoding (two CloneCD sheeps) ...
the best buy atm is the LiteOn 52246S - cheap, with 24x CD-RW writing ...
