What is a good brand?

[nash667]

I am looking for help to anyone who can aid me. I am wanting to purchase a DVD burner, but I am unsure as to what is a quality brand to purchase. I already have a dvdrom/ cd burner, and a friend told me to keep my original cd rom, because replacing it with a dvd burner might cause reading problems for my computer. Is this true? And also what would be a quality brand for an external dvd burner?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help.

I recommend one of Pioneer's DVDRW's.

No that's like a bulk pricing.



Newer Pioneer 109

People have posted the NEC 3520 is a excellent drive.

My vote goes to the Plextor PX-716A
