Help me choose a DVD Drive

[Matt234123]

So i need a new DVD Burner for my computer. There is this local warehouse thats great with computers here in Houston but i don't know which one to choose. Oh i need a +- drive so that i can read/write DVDs when i go back to Europe next year.

This is the list of them http://www.directron.com/blkdvdbrn.html.
Could someone please tell me which one i should pick. I really dont know what the difference is.

depends on whether or not you need ide or sata. do you know which one you need?

 

[Matt234123]

SATA i think i have the Foxxcon Bloodrage motherboard

 

[dubesinhower]

do you absolutely need to get it from that site? why not newegg.com?

 

[Matt234123]

because then i can pick it up tomorrow at the store, otherwise i have to wait for newegg to ship it and pay for shipping costs, and it wont be here till monday.

 

[dubesinhower]

it seems that any of those would be fine. any specifics on what you need exactly?

a reliable one that has a black cover and SATA i guess with DVD Buring capabilities for American DVD- and European DVD+. Thats about it

think this one is ok then

capabilities for American DVD- and European DVD+ ?? What you mean?
It is purely do with the region code... every dvd burner can do DVD+ / DVD-

Go for Sony AD-7240S-0B OEM or Lite-On iHAS324-08/09 retail

maybe thats true now but in the past (year or two?) burners were only able to do one or the other and you weren't able to switch them. Like Dvd+ which u cant get in the US or DVD- which u cant get in europe, belgium more specifically
