I notice some say double layer, are they better than the ones that don't have that ? or is it just luck of the draw, if you get a good one or not ?

440765 2006-03-26 01:52:00 Dual layer is another DVD format out on the market. What makes this one different is that it can hold up to around nine gigabytes on a single DVD. You need the correct DVD disk to use it.

I personally suggest DVD drives made by Liteon, Asus as very good choices

440767 2006-03-26 03:29:00 Another heads-up for Lite-On (www.oemcomputers.co.nz)
I've installed three of these on several systems. No problems and good price.

440769 2006-03-26 04:08:00 Try and get a dual layer drive, because, as someone said above, you can fit far more on each DVD. :) My old DVD recorder was made by Pioneer and I never had any problems with it. My new one is a Panasonic UJ-846 which seems to be ok so far (only had it a couple of months). maccrazy (6741)
