Go for Lite-On or SAMSUNG...don't go for Sony..some of its writers have reading issues (like mine)...don't go for LG some of its writers have tray-ejecting issues..

whats the difference between IDE and SATA Writer?

the difference is the way in which the dvd writer communicates with ur system

go for sata as it offers better transfer speeds than ide

but make sure u hav a sata port on ur mobo

In the past, Samsung was considered the worst, with tray issues and all. Now they are considered very good even by cdfreaks. I am using thier SH-S203B for more than a year without any problem.

I had a samsung 1, it just stopped working 1 day. My friend has samsung and it reads dvd's depending on mood. One of my samsung cdrw never had a problem though. Now i hav a lg 20x dvd rw which when i took was cheapest i could find here. No prob. Til now.
