Hi there,
Based on a few posts I have read withing the last month, here's a quick list of drive, in no particulor order:
NEC-3520A <--- Real cheap prices all over America
NEC-3540A <--- I think this is the most newest drive from NEC
Pioneer 109 (This drive has NEC chipset)
Plextor-716A (And all other Plextor, SATA, USB etc...)
These are the most popular.
Other less populor but heard good about:
LG-4160, LG-4163 and the latest LG models
LiteON
Sony
Father in law has the NEC-3520A and it supports burning DVD-R at 2x. To me it's important because I burn everything at 2x.
I have the NEC-3450A (Dell OEM) I am told equivalent to NEC-3500.
I had an other drive and the min was 4x for DVD-R.
Just tought you should know !
Good shopping !

A little biased in your sig., Shoey? LOL High fives. There is only one Cadillac in burners. Plextor.
Okay, okay. I know there are some others that are great, too. I am just biased. :)

Actually the BenQ models I listed give Plextor a run for their money.
Of course the Plex is the faster reader, backups more cd protection than the BenQ drives but the BenQ dvd burners I listed do amazing quality writes with compatable media. I'm considering purchasing the BenQ DW1640 :)

Shoey, I actually thought about getting a BenQ, but then I slapped myself in the back of my head, and got a Plextor again. LOLLOL
Hey Neph, where the hell are you, to help me out a bit? :)

Nothing wrong with having 2 dvd burners, right Grandpa Jones? (hehe)
Seriously I'm going to purchase the BenQ DW1640 :)(Hint) Sell your Sony.....

ROFLMAO! I did think about dumping the Sony, but all that I use if for is reading DVD's. I know that there are faster readers, but it has not given me any problems, thus far.

Well sell da Sony and grab a Litey DVD-ROM (16x) at your local Wally-Mart, then grab the BenQ DW1640 and Shoey says "you got the right hardware baby."

I really would like a faster reader, and I know that I spend more in a week on beer and smokes, than a Lite On would cost. Now you got me thinking. :)
