Best dvd drive suggestion out of experience needed

[utsav]

Sony drives used 2 be gud earlier but now they sucks.i am not recommending lite-on becoz my frnds lite on cd writer failed within 3 monts twice.thats why i am recommending only asus.and remember,writing speed does not matter.quality and reliability matters more

@utsav

i stand to your point quality,life and reliability should be our prime priority incase of optical drives

are they not guys?

How is sony leading the poll

Thats what I am thinking....
Don't buy Sony drive even if it is winning in the poll

 

[utsav]

People r misguiding u

 

[praka123]

buy a pioneer drive,if "quality,life and reliability should be prime priority incase of optical drives"
try ur luck in ebay.in

 

[hahahari]

I swear by Samsung octoedge....THE BEST absolutely the best

 

[praka123]

^whaow!some people knows it!

 

[ranjan2001]

after reading this poll & going to nehru place I decided to buy Liteon 20x MODEL NO. DH-20A4P07C FOR Rs 1200/-

Only problem I am finding in last 2 hrs is that it spins too loud, feels like a jet landing within the comp, all 4 screws are tight.

Any other user can u confirm if this makes such loud sound?
This is my 1st 20X drive so need to confirm this, earlier I was using 16X sony drive.

 

[hahahari]

@praka123 seems we are the only ones swearing by OCTOEDGE

@praka123...your right from my experience ,i have pioneer slot read only dvd drive which i bought in 1999 for above 1000(believe it or not) ...its still running in his old age but fails to read old cd/dvd........it worked like a charm for four years............isn't that enough guys?

@utsav I too doubt how sony leads the poll............may be any multiple vote or using fake ids


Anyway guys i bought samsung octoedge and lg secur drive lets see how it lives.............will report if anything go wrong..............i bought just to taste other brand.............i tried asus but i cant get it in my locality.........will see ............but to my experience -2 for sony.......will see how others report.

 

[praka123]

I feel what sony is doing with their cheap dvdwriters,drives are like logitech selling "labtech" keyboards in Logitech name
IMHO,samsung-octoedge for the win (FTW!) @blister share ur exp with octoedge drives!dont forget to update to latest firmware online.the site is:
*samsungodd.com

 

[axxo]

dont go for name sake......in my case sony generated problems after months..also lite-on as many says is not good as well...my liteon dvd burner doesnt read/write CDs but no problem with DVDs..
samsung..they are good performer and very rigid.
So overall my suggesstion would be either ASUS(Best Performer) or SAMSUNG(Best Value)

 

[praka123]

^see!...what i suggested!I know samsung octoedge are working perfect!but the rumor spreads like wildfire that sony/liteon/benq are the best blah blah and later the customer who brought these brands may rethink about his decision ;as for asus,i donno much,but hope its nice!

^ Even then people have voted for LiteON as per their experience is concerned and Samsung has just got 2 votes. For my school the Samsung OCTOedge DVD writer didn't last even 2 weeks as I had mentioned before.

bought a sony DRU 720A bout 2 yrs 6mnths back (its a rebadged LiteOn SOHW 1693S though) and as of now it hasnt created any trouble 4 me.the only -ve side is that the drive fails to detect a few DVDs and CDs though its a very rare thing.
and for Asus 1814BLT i've tested 2 of these drive and 1 was a piece of crap.it didnt even detect blank Moser baer and SONY dvds even after firmware update.the other 1 was ok.
