OK, I've come to the conclusion that my Toshiba DVD burner has died. What's the best one to replace it with?

Why do you think it died?
What's it doing, or not doing?

Tigerdirect has the NEC ND-3550A for $19.99 after rebate. It's a great drive. My only quibble is that it doesn't bitset single-layer DVD+R, but you canfix that by using the Liggy's and Dee's firmware from rpc1.org. The Lite-On SHM-160P6S has a good rep, as does the Benq, but the Lite-On can be had for $29.99.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
