Answered many times before.You will end up with different answers.Let me start the debate, SONY !!

 

[bharatbharija]

I would vote for lite-on DVD-drives... ultra reliable and give highest burn speeds

 

[ajai5777]

Take a die..
1 Sony
2 Samsung
3 LG
4 HP
5 Lite on
6 Moserbaer

Write these names on its 6 faces and throw then decide!

not again!!!!!
Buy the drive whose service center is in your city.....I would suggest SAMSUNG

Guyz sorry for the interruption,but really i do have a sony DVD RW(which is connected through A IDE to sata adapter),and its speed is really terrible.
So i need to get one which is more reliable in terms of reading DVD's.

(which is connected through A IDE to sata adapter)

These adapters are useless...the speed problem is due to that only...get SAMSUNG or ASUS...do not get into this debate better go to the nearby shop and buy one for you...

Get a LG 22x drive for 1.1k. Its cheap, fast and also reliable

LG drives performance has let down too less a people...I will suggest go for LG.
I had a LG CD Writer long time back. Never had any issues. No also for two years I have been using a LG DVD Writer...no probs at all...

you cant say like that.My 5 year old Sony DVD RW working fine in my old p4 rig with out any single issue.Many of my friends have SONY (recommended by me) zero issues so far.
So I have a solid reason to recommend it.

Lately my Lite On DVD drive stopped working and i gave it to some guys(namely Silicon Technologies)and they couldn't fix it. So this time i bought a Sony one.....and moreover if something happens...I can reach Rashi Peripherals Any time

Can`t agree to that, few weeks back i got a sony dvd rw for my friend, the performance was horrible, gave it to the dealer and got a lg, it rocks. I myself have two lg dvd rws, they rocks

Make sure all the connections are proper...A new hardware such a this should not fail on its maiden trial. It is properly tested before sending in the market. Why do not you get help from someone more experienced in hardware?
If all else fails, take the cabinet to the store from where you have made the purchase...it will work out...

recently we had a great discussion over the DVD Drive. Where is that thread?

 

[gagan007]

someone has removed that thread...i couldn't search that either...the post that I made in that is also untraceable...
BTW that gentleman purchased a Sony DVD writer...
