Need a dvd writer

Don't even think about Lite-on drives. Pathetic quality.

Go for either samsung or sony. I prefer Sony

u r the first person in my life who says lite-on is pathetic.

Go for Samsung SH-S203B Rs1200. Its a steal at its price and it can burn dual layer dvds at 12X.

@PainKiller
lite-on is not pathetic. good performance. but the once popular LH-20A1P was extremely noisy. But the newer models like LH-20A1H and LH-20A3S are quite silent.

I can suggest u that go 4 Lite-On, Samsung whichever
Suits ur needs n pocket

i know sir. i was just commenting on desiibond's comment

Never go for Samsung ones! They are notorious for tray problems...and abt Lite-On, my local computer-walla told me it is being sold by Moser Baer nowadays.. Is that true?

@diffuser911

Samsung drives used to have this kinda probs before the arrival of new model which is SH-203B.
This drive is pretty good and very much silent. It would be a good choice.
Moserbaer has started providing optical drives in joint venture with LiteOn.............but LiteOn drives are also available in market.......
I've bought one 2 weeks back.

liteOn is OEM supplier of moser baer. however liteon can still be bought separately. i guess main difference is quality control.

i have used benq for 2 years.....
also sony uses benq parts.......
so i recommend sony....

recently i also bought sony sata dvdrw.... but yet to use it, becoz i dont have a 775 socket CPU
