Asus DVD-RW Drive DRW-24F1ST vs Samsung SH-224DB/RSMS

Hi I am going to purchase one of these two drives. They are probably both rebranded Lite-on's but which one would you choose and why?

Also I'm wondering what is the difference between the samsung drive in question and the Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE, is the one I mentioned just the retailed version with the CD driver and sata cable,etc.?

Here are the links of each drive from amazon where I will be purchasing.

I would just go with the cheaper one because the only thing I would only do with the DVD drive is to install Windows.

I have both drives in different computers - they are basically the same drive....I would go with the cheaper of the two. Both are good brands.

Thanks fellas! I suppose shelling out an extra 45p for the samsung would be more savvy as I would get a sata cable also
