You are sadly mistaken my dear,amongst the available brands right now, LG,BenQ have the BEST drives.

FYI,

BenQ DW 1640 is already a legend. One of the best DVD writers ever produced. ;)

@orionz, you had problem with LG doesn't mean that all LG drives are bad. I own a Liteon DVD writer and it stopped reading CD's after 10 days. None of my friends has that problem with Liteon writers.

I would agree that samsung is the worst of all as everyone who bought samsung optical drive in my friends circle had issues with it.

as of now, I would recommend

Liteon <- Sony <-benq <-LG
