I bought a slot loading 16x pioneer dvd drive years ago. Now i can't find them on newegg and zipzoomfly wants $98 for a tray version? Did they stop making them? Anyone makes a good slot loading 16x thats not $100? whos the best now?

By slot, do you mean caddy? I think the caddy just kinda phased out awhile ago, haven't seen anything but tray drives around, or maybe I'm just missing something...

no not caddy drives, slot loading drives, like car stereos. And the reason pioneer stopped making them was because of dust.
