Thread: DVD Burner

  1. #1

    Default DVD Burner

    What's a good DVD burner that's internal? I don't really know much about them. I'd prefer a black one to go with my case.

    Find one that fits your needs, then look up the prices for your local/internet dealers.
    Otherwise, the NEC burners are quite good too, I use this at the moment:

    Thanks, though I can't seem to find much Plextor around Australian online stores.

    Though I did find a nice and cheap Samsung. Is this an alright one to get? All I know is I have an extra bay on my computer, so I'm guessing I just put it in there and connect it on the inside?

    Or there's this LG one that looks interesting.

    Edit: I don't want an external one, sorry. And I'd rather buy factory sealed anyways.

    You could always check how the users opinion goes at places like cdfreak: http://www.cdfreaks.com/devices/DVD__RW/ or try to get ahold of Squally, he's usually more up to date with what's good and what's bad.

    I have that LG burner. It's very inexpensive, and I've never had a problem with it. I was going to get one more expensive, but the guy in the store recommended it, so I got it.

    I recommend it too.

    I strongly discourage getting plextors. They cost far more than the usual drive and are less reliable compared to other drives I've used.

    I've used between 10-15 NEC and Pioneer drives in computers recently, and they've been working out well.
    LG has some well-rated drives as well.

    All the Plextors I've ever used were as reliable as could be That said, my NECs have been good too, and are usually reasonably priced.
