I swear by Plextor, but there are other good brands.
One more economical brand that has received good reviews is Lite-On. If you
want to buy online, my *very best* recent experiences are with newegg.com
(www.newegg.com). Prices very good, service excellent. I had to RMA a dead
CPU with them (out of many ordered) and even the return/replacement process
was pleasant and efficient.
Newegg can put you in a 121032 Lite-On for about $100 US *delivered*.
No, I do *not* work for newegg!
