dvd writer drive

So... I've been out of the loop for a while as far as DVD writers go.

I need one, they seem to have more formats for DVD's than I have socks.

How's this one? Missing any formats that are needed? $57.50

IMO, a better track record. Sony has used lower tier manufacturers to manufacture their drives in the past. I had to replace my "sony" burner in my vaio computer 3 times under warranty before I voided the warranty by buying an NEC drive and I havent had a problem since then.. Vaio has started to design and manufacture their own drives recently so that isn't a problem anymore. Nevertheless, I'll never trust sony dvd drives again. But that's just my opinion.

I have both of those drives in my main computer. NEC's laser and servo mechanisms are the best out there. Lite-on's are almost as good. Lite-on's advantage is that you can use them to test the burn quality on your discs.

so feature wise the nec posted and the sony I originally posted are the same. nec is just a better mfgr. right? right. ok. .... I think. :D

feature wise they look the same but in tests NEC blows away sony and everyone else.

I have the NEC 3520.
I plan on buying 2 more so all my pcs will have a dvd burner. It's so cheap and to me it's needed :rick:

I plan on buying several more as well, but they're all going into a single computer. Anybody see any good deals on cases with about a dozen external 5.25" drive bays lately? :rick:
