Compatable/Internal: If you want to take your backups and play them anywhere,definitely the BenQ 1620 and 1640.

The ability to alter the plus format into dvd-rom-also know as bitsetting/booktyping-Your backups will have a higher percentage of compatability on stand alone players/game consoles/and pc drives.

I know what they can do,and there is very little that they can't do.I got 2 of the 1620s,and 1 1640 with over 99% success rate and 95%+ stand alone compatability rate of my booktyped backkups.

I haven't found any media in the plus format that they don't like: AML/Moser bauer/cmags-all burn ok. More issues are on the dash format,so I don't even have to bother with that format.

Lite-on/LG/some sony/plextor are also booktyping capable.
NEC/pioneer are not without special hacked firmware,but still excellent drives.

All drives I listed are quality drives,beware of anything else.
