DVD burner died need a new one

Hazaro · Dec 28, 2007

My Sony NEC Optiarc SATA Model AD-7170S-0B pooped today after trying to burn a DVD to it. After 5 discs... :bang head

Troubleshooting is no go, so I just need recommendations for a DVD drive that will do DL and is SATA for <$40 if possible. Black color greatly preferred

While Lite On and Pioneer seem to be doing well I was looking at this Samsung burner.

Samsung SH-S203 series. The N has lightscribe if that matters. The B is just fine. Only negative to the drive is that it is not a good quality scanner for CD's.

I have 4 Lite-On drives between two computers, 2 CD and 2 DVD. 1 CD and 1 DVD drive are around 2 years old, and have been working great since day one without any hiccups. I would recommend them. It has been the brand I have been doing in new builds for my clients also, and I haven't heard any problems with them.

I know it's luck of the draw, but this is the first drive I've had multiple issues with burning DVD's and CD's so I don't recommend it. Lite On doesn't even list the drive at their site for any firmware updates that I've been hoping for. I wish my old BenQ was SATA.
