Was looking at buying a new drive, but can't tell the difference between these two, other than one has 'built in buffer underun protection' and the other has 'Powerburn'

check out these links:

does it really matter which one i get?

hej Slide,

I checked the site, and I think the first one (DW-G120AB) is a deluxe version, and it seems the only advantages are the power burning feature. Id say it doesnt differs much, but Im not sure what the power burning feature is.

Check this site out, it explains the Buffer-Underrun protection. They both have that function, just an other version. Id say the deluxe version (120AB) is slightly better.

Hope I helped you,

Lol, you arent stupid, but true, one is beige, and one is black :P, I overlooked that myself too.
