| 599670 | 2007-10-09 18:58:00 | I haven't had a bad experience with optical drives for years - which is not to say others haven't. Get what's cheapest. I think brands have very little to do with it these days and I'd be surprised if they all made their own transports. |

| 599671 | 2007-10-09 19:00:00 | As to media, the wobble correction is supposed to be better with DVD+R - but if you're wanting to burn movies then get DVD-R. In my view, stick with Verbatim and you'll not go wrong. | Deane F (8204) | ||
| 599672 | 2007-10-09 19:30:00 | I'd probably go with the LG since i've heard good things about them in the past. Check CD Freaks (http://www.cdfreaks.com/) for any reviews & forum posts about the 2 drives. I would avoid the imation disks though. I've had too many problems with dodgy batches. Get some Verbatims, they're about the same price. |

| 599675 | 2007-10-10 00:22:00 | Get the LG because it uses the SATA interface as opposed to IDE, much easier to route the cable etc. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
