Hi. I really appreciate all of the useful information this forum has to give, as I have read people's advice with great results in the past. I would like to buy a DVD drive for my comp., either external or internal, with the main goal of backing up and burning my playstation 2 and other video games, such as playstation 1, sega saturn, and the like. I als plan on using the DVD-burning functionality for burning DVD movies, audio, and data.
Keeping in mind that high quality dvd-burn video games are my priority, is there a particular model, family of models, brand, or feature I should look for when making my purchase?

Thanks.

As long as you have a good drive, there is no real pros and cons.

See these threads for an idea of a decent drive...

Well, the BenQ seems the most consistently recommended, and the price is great. However, I'm still unclear as to the differences between models 1620-650. Is is simply a matter of slightly increased speeds and storage capabilities?

Also-is there any disadvantage to using BenQ is im in the US?

Thanks much for help, links recommendation was great.

Basically if it's a BenQ 16*0 then it's a better drive the higher the number.

Anyhow, I doubt you'll get a BenQ, as they are pretty much non exsistent after the company was sold. Look for LiteOn or Poneer.
