Asus/ Sony /Samsung are one of the better brands of DVD writer. Buy any of them which is available at your area. Almost all the dvd drives costs around 1K, so choice won't be affected by budget.

Sony lasted a little over 3 years for me until it conked out. Currently using a Samsung & a LG. Both are a little over a year old & working fine as of now.

BTW please don't use bold fonts in red. Its really irritating.

LG dvd writers have some concerns about their build quality. So, better option is to avoid them.

For 1k you can get Asus 24x retail version. For the same price other brands just provide 22x OEM versions. So, get the Asus one.

It doesn't matter whether it is 22x or 24x as slower burning speeds are better for longer lasting DVDs. Many of my high speed burn DVDs failed sooner than the ones I burned at 4x or 8x.
