I have been comparing CD-RW Drives (price and quality) and run across one called LG Electronics (GCE-8160B)16-10-40 internal 2MB buffer and 100 ms average seek time.(Under $100.00 bucks)I noticed it was PC WORLD magizines #5 pick in there BEST 125 Hardware Buys. I was just wondering if anyone out there has anything good or bad to say about it?Or any more good suggestions on one.

I have heard that it is a decent drive for the price (LG is Goldstar elec. I think)

I have just purchased recently an LG CED-8120B CD-RW drive (12x8x32x). The quality of the hardware is quite good and seems to work very well. It isn't "burn-proof" (the 16x10x40x is), but it does have an 8MB buffer. Also has 100 msec seek time. It does the job well for me, and I'm happy with it.
