I'm findind parts for a new rig and I need a new cd/dvd drive. I don't plan on doing much cd/Dvd burning I'll primarily be using it for running games when cd/dvd's are required.
I don't need anything super fancy just something basic that works for what I need and has a reasonable price.
I'd rather you concentrate on Samsung. IMO in terms of optical drive quality and reliability, LG comes first, Samsung second, then the rest of the brands.
