would like to buy a DVD writer, would like to know the prices. and which would be the best buy.

ur best bet wud be a lite on dvd writer or check the market for ben q too...if u find one grab it.....
LG and samsung are the worst drives u can find...i'v used both of them and from my experience both sux big TYM....

i always saw liteon topping the charts of digit & chip...so baught liteon LH-20A1P >> & the store owner told me tht sony uses Liteon lenses for their writers. dont know if thts true

Guys...stay away from Sony drives for now because they are either Samsung (DRU 830A) or NEC OEMs .....

Stick to Liteon, probably the best bang for the buck!


Sony were drives excellent before as they were BenQ 1x00 OEMs.

Sony drives S*ck hard... Almost evry Sony user complaint abt it...

Isnt the LG DVD writer good..??? I've been using LG CD RW and LG DVD ROM from 2 years and till now no problems... Got SONY q120A dvd writer year back and now lens need replacement..

I bought a Sony DRU-170C and returned it for replacement in 2 weeks, don't touch it with a bargepole

for me,my samsung(toshiba) octoedge 18x SH-S182F works fine.
very different from my previous samsung experiances.btwn LG DVD RW-be careful thats what my experiance says.

Though I prefer Liteon, I recently bought LG only coz of its service netwrk.

^The usual Sony DRU 820A would do just fine in your case.It would read & write all the DVD formats available on the grid.Atleast the regular dvd's available in the market are read & burned without a hitch.

which NEW sony writter drive can read & write all DVD formats ????


am confused by their drive names ..........

I bought a Lite-on... or so it said on the Box, when I installed it the actual drive said it was an LG.... So I ain't sure But had mine for over a year and am very pleased with it. befoer I bought mine I asked same question and got the same response you're getting, so yeah go for a liteon. Don't buy Sony!
