I have a Sony DRU-820a and have been very happy with it. Came with Nero 6.6.0.18, although I don't actually Nero very much. This Sony is a rebadged BenQ. I believe this model is DL able, but I have never bought one of those blanks due to crazy prices. Never had a failure on the single layer disks with this burner yet (knock on synthetic).
Some of the BenQ models don't seem to be available on NewEgg lately. Would recommend their burners if you can find one.
I checked out newegg.com and all they had was the Benq 1625 with the lightscribe. i don't see a lot of feedback from that drive.
The benqs sell like hotcakes.
Meritline.com is almost out of benq drives. I did find the Benq 1655 with lightscribe and I see a lot of peeps rave about her. I've been impressed with some awesome scans I saw posted here with that drive,but it's $16 or so higher than when newegg had them.:
They also had the Benq 1670 for $32 or so,but it's got a totally different chip set.The good benqs have the phillips chips sets.
It's a lightscribe and has dvd-ram capability.I don't see many good remarks about that drive. I'd rate it comparable to the Benq 60.
