I wouldn't get the liteon or the Cyber drives if I was you.
Problems with keeping the data after a few months is a issue.

Also don't be tricked into getting a 40x write burner.
They are no faster than a fair few 16x write burners.

Get the 16x although these may not be around any more.
I think the base model is now 24x.

16x and 40x both take about 6 mins to do a 700Mb burn.
It's just bragging rights to get a faster burner. The faster burners
have a higher failure rate so just get the 24x. If you can get a 16x
then do that.

Good brands. HP if you can still get them. They are moving towards dvd
burners. Plextor, Sony, Yamaha, maybe BenQ/Acer, maybe just BenQ as
they took over Acer.

Stay clear of liteon or the cyber drives.
