    Good Burning Hardware?

    I'm Currently a newbie at this sort of thing but I've been interested for a while now. I found myself staring at 15 different types of product on the shelves ranging from $40 -$400. I want something durable but not commercial and I was wondering what is good way to go as far as the hardware for burning? (Sony, Samsung ...)

      I have a older Sony DRU-510A. I've had it for several years now, and its still going strong!

      I just recently bought a NEC 3520A from newegg.com for about $55.00 US dollars. It too is a great drive.

        I have a LiteOn 832s and 1633s which are not the newest LiteOn's but they take a licking and keep on ticking, and there are plenty of utilities out there that can make them do tricks.

          I have 2 PX716A's


          2000 burns ONE coaster with TYG02's

          Plextors are expensive, but if you want something that has great media test results for the best value, go with a Benz1640. Half the cost and posts almost as good results, not sure if Benz has bitsetting or if there is patched firmware for it.

          I would buy an AOpen1648AAP Rom drive with the Plextor though. That combo (always used with the latest firmware, NEVER fails to rip and burn flawlessly)

                  I ended up picking up a Sony DRU-720A. As far as I can tell it burns great with Memorex DVDR. I just wanted to thank you guys for your input
