Which drive is a better buy?

ASUS 24X OEM DVDRW

or

LG GH22NS50 22X Internal SATA Super Multi DVD Drive OEM

I'm not really sure what to look for in a DVD/CD drive. I know I want a DVD+CD that can read and write.

They are both good. The ASUS is 24X speed and the LG is X22 speed, so it is a little better but not really worth the price difference... IMO

Well I'm debating on whether to take a trip out to Microcenter or not. It's an hour away from my house and the Frys is much closer.

Is the ASUS 24X drive on Frys the same as this one on Newegg?

Well, the price of gas is way more than the few bucks in saving from Microcenter. Go to Frys and get the ASUS drive.
