If performance is your number 1 criterion, then go Plextor. ($125ish)
If price is your number 1 criterion then consider NEC, BENQ, or LG ($50ish)

i found a plextor for round 65 bucks, good deal?

when comparing all the #s though i say that a samsung for 20 bucks cheaper had equivalent or better speeds?

I would have to agree with LABOY, Plextor #1, NEC #2, and LITE-ON #99. Check this out, it's an fairly in depth look at some of the most popular brands

I can't tell you which to get. But I would go for the Plextor, the 712 is not the newest model, and it's only $13 more than the Samsung. But hey it's your money. I have the Plextor 716 and love it, paid alot more than $63

I have a Plextor PX-716A. I love it. I spent wayyyy too much time and money on other junk drives and media. 527 Burns and 3 coasters in 4 months.

Almost all new burners come dual layer nowadays. As far as lighscribe, that is not a necessity but a preference. Lightscribe is the ability to burn a disk on one side, flip it over, and burn a label on the other side of special printable disks. So it has nothing to do with what you are backing up..

Hope this anwered your question

Does anyone here have experience with the lightscribe drives? I was considering adding it to my PC but haven't heard much from anyone who actually has one.
