I'm looking to get a dual layer dvd burner for my computer. I will be getting a box to put it in so it will be external. What brands are good and how much should I be expecting to pay?

I would prefer it to be dual layer, but single would work too. Its mainly going to be for backups of music or programs or movies.

 

Nec $40

 

For single? dual? Internal?

 

NEC ND-3550A ftw? Dual, EIDE.

 

$40 NEC FTW

16x burners dont always run at 16x in external boxes... check the cdfreaks forums and check out what other people use.

 

nec 35xx series. the end.

 

Pioneer 110D ftw. I have this they cost like $70 (CAD) and no problems. Its quiet and fast.
