Nowadays a DVD-writer is a DVD-writer. There's not much more to it. Its like buying a CD-ROM drive. Buy the cheapest available with good warranty and hope that it doesn't fail. And if it does, get another one (no point repairing...).
Anyone has any idea about the Sony G170A..??
Dude,the Sony DRU-830A is a rebadged Samsung SH-S182D and the burns are not very good.So be aware of what you're buying.
