    Where I'm now
    Creative dont have their writers now.And they had fancy gizmos not worthy in CD burning.
    I'd say a Plextor if you want a real thing.:D
    In lk ASUS are good.Lite-ons are better.For under 4k your choice will be samsung.It can hold on for hard use.

    Yep thats why I said for hard use.They read any crap.Sony are rebranded samsung so you may get better or worse reading abilities but sure more features with Sony.Namely DRU-830A and DRU-840A.If you read lots of scratched optical media LG is the best choise.They will read hours for a bit :D And Lite-Ons too.The best will be if you can find a Benq or a DRU-820A(flash the latest firmware)They are superfast and accurate.But will not last long coz of high speed. :(

    I would sell mine, which reads anything you would put in. I mean ANYTHING!

    The only reason why I would sell it is to get rid of this damn IDE interface!

    Right now, I don't know what is the best brand/model. I have been out of the loop, 'cos I never needed to look at anything else because of my current drive.




    Anyway, don't blame the writer if you buy crappy media and burn them. Crappy media are so called for a good reason :P

    Get some Japanese high quality stuff. You won't regret it.

    I personally would go with Liteon in SL (Liteon bought Benq, and Benq used to be a king in optical drives in 2003-2005).

    I personally don't like Samsung when it comes to optical drives. I've seen people curse Samsung so many times. So if Sony are selling rebadged Samsungs, maybe you should keep away from them.

    But, don't forget that every good company puts out a crappy product every now and then and if you are unfortunate enough to buy one of those, well YOU ARE UNFORTUNATE :P Best thing to do is, first go and check which models they have, and then head onto club.cdfreaks.com and go to the respective subforum (for the respective brand) and check for a review for that exact model. Pay attention towards the conclusion, if the graphs are like greek to you. You will know if this is a good drive to buy or not.

    We have the exact opposite here.. Our office bought all Samsung DVD writers..and everyday we are thinking we should have bought Asus.. Our of the 10 Samsung DVD writers..only 6 are now working.. UTTER CRAP..!!!! (Stay away from Samsung burners if u can)

    I have an Asus Multi Layer DVD burner..and have been using it without any trouble for almost a year now.. Maxa burner & reading crappy DVDs without any probs so far..
