Which DVDROM brand to get???

right now i have a Samsung DVDROM but it seems like its lifespan is close to the end, anyway i was wondering what u people recommend me to get, i like samsung but anyway im here to hear oppinions

oh yeah, my samsung happened to be a dell one, so that must be why its close to certain dead anyway so i dont fear taking a samsung once again

 

I've got a LiteOn DVD_ROM. Serves it's purpose pretty well. A little loud though...

 

NEC all the way

 

Pioneer is the best!

 

so, 2 highly recommended and 1 "it does its work" wierd thing is i trust the lite_on more

 

liteOn is probably the best "bang for the buck"

 

Except the Pioneer A09/109... it's flakey. Every Pioneer up to then has been amazing (I love my 108). However, as more firmware is released for the A09/109 the drive is getting better.. but way to slow for my taste.

As for NEC, the 3530s are out now, so if you can get one that'd be my choice (until Pioneer straightens out), or at the very least the Liteon SOHW 1673 or LG 4163.

-Tip

 

I got an Asus 16x DVD ROM drive a little while ago. Its the quietest optical drive I have ever had.

This is the exact one I ordered:

you have good taste my friend

 

Plextor, or LiteOn

Plextor has always been hard to beat for quality, but they aren't the cheapest ones out there.

LiteOn is the best 'bang for the buck', as they are a lot cheaper, and their quality isn't too shabby either.

 

ok then, liteon it is, thx a lot people

 

np, Shadow Lady Have fun with it

 

Heres the list from the best to the least favorite but working.... IMO

Pioneer
BenQ
Yamaha
I/O Magic
Lite On


SONY
LG
Cisiro
or other variants utterly bite. The being dvd reading abilities or burning abilities...
They die quick to.

 

Lite-On all the way!!!! I have never had a problem with mine.
