CD Writers

raccoonone · May 28, 2003

What is a good brand/model? the old one I have is a HP, but I'm in the market for a new computer. and noticed HP doesn't seem to make CD writers anymore (atleast I couldn't find any).

if posible I'd like to keep the cost around $100, but I do make quite a few music CDs so it'll need to be pretty fast.

Thanks

ASUS or Lite-On 52x24x52 drives are only $50 or less at www.newegg.com the ASUS drive is slightly faster though, it is what I have and I like it better than my friends lite-on burner.

The best brand Plextor. But Lite-on are awesome too and cheaper, I have mine for more than a year under heavy usage and never had a problem. besides I overclocked it.

Hi,

LG Drives are also very good, copy everything and are cheap (under 50$)

I like Plextor, TDK and Teac if you're looking for a top-end drive. For under $50 I like LG better than Lite On. They run quieter and seem to have better reliability.

A great source for optical drive reviews and news is CDRLabs.com.
