Best make for drives

[dragon2309]

In answer to your qustions about why didnt i add a certain brand/make to the poll. I can noply put a max of 10 items on there, i had to choose out of the mainstream companies. If they didnt pop inot my head whilst i was making the poll then they are not high enough in my own ranking to be added. Thanks, dragon2309.

P.S. Im thinking i will go with NEC as it has the highest amount of votes on here.

Plextor is in my view the uncontested top drive period, anything else is at best in second place. It does however come at a price. The poll might have been better served if it had been worded "Who makes the best DVD Burner."

You could have then saved space in your poll for another drive by not adding the Sony since it is a rebadged Lite-On.

Here's a list of DVD Burner manufacturers.

The vendors that tend to be most proficient and expedient about firmware upgrades are the ones that manufacture the drives themselves: for example, AOpen, BenQ, LG Electronics, Lite-On, NEC, Pioneer, Plextor, and Ricoh.
