Asus DRW-1608P3S 16X DVD Writer (Rs. 2,150)


This drive is an OEM product of Pioneer’s 111L drive and offers great compatibility with all kinds of DVD media which can be burnt easily at 16x without quality issues. The drive is also capable of writing to DL media which can hold more data than any other media solution that is currently available. Pioneer also has some of the best read speeds of any DVD drive and can be easily converted to a region free drive which will allow you to view any kind of DVD movie without any issue

Availability in your particular area is the key.

In my case LG was the only available brand and its been working very nicely so far (3 months).
