Go for LiteOn.

Sony sells rebadged LiteOn CD-RW's

ASUS drives are very noisy.

MSI drives aren't very good.

no question about it. Lite-On. their quiet, stable, they dont make coasters.... and....THIER CHEAP! www.newegg.com best prices on the web, incredibly fast shipping. i purchase parts for all my builds there.

asus....noisy!

Philips...was noisy, and was picky on my discs and made way too many coasters... (looked cool tho)

Creative...well, just stick with Lite-On

for the love of god, don't buy an artec! I've had nothing but trouble with mine and their customer service is nonexistent. Be careful cos a lot of cheap brands are rebadged artecs. Definitely buy a Lite-on, they're good quality and a good price

I've heard this more than one in this forum. But if you buy LiteOn, then you will have no dobt that you are getting a LiteOn. IMO, LiteOn is the way to go
