Hey guys i have a HP DVD writer but i need another DVD writer which can handle a bit of heavy DVD writing ......like 5 to 10 DVDs within 2 hrs of time..........
My writer is fine with it but then sometimes it turns out a dvd with some error....may be one in 20 pieces......but still i guess i am better off with something more reliable.

Money no barrier but don go beyond 2.5K

^^ romeo, your dvd quality is also important! If you want the best writing experience get original media! And I heard pioneer is quite good, but please dont go for sony.

Better go for SONY...The only problem with this is it can't read the scratched cd/dvd's....Except that, it's really awesome...:p

^^ sony drives are not at all recommended. Trust me, I have one. If its a sony rebranded nec/optiarc drive, then you better hold on to your warranty tightly, if you know what I mean. I have already got it replaced once.

sir it is of no use. 16x is the dvd max. speed on dvd. there is not more than this so 16x is a good choice.
