The Lite-on Combo drive is good. I have been using it for quite some time now and i have not had any problems. Go for the combo

If you already have a CD-writer, then going for a standalone DVD-ROM would be the wisest thing to do. On the other hand, if you just have a CD-ROM drive right now, then invest in a CD-RW DVD combo drive. You should go for drives from Sony or LiteOn. My recommended drive would be the Sony CRX320E costing Rs 2,500. Very good drive.

Samsung-- Rs1500(48x/16x)
Sony- Rs1700(48x/16x)

i completely agree with nimda, i myself got a new DVD Rom (sony) 3 days back.

Ok i have answerd this mant times.. but doing it again :D

It's better that u buy a DVD rom and CD writer seperately. There may be problem with lens later on and it's better to have two ROMs instead of one and it costs a 200-300rs more....
See:
DVD Rom drive = rs. 1400
CD writer = rs. 1250
Total = 2700rs. or so
Combo drive = Rs. 2500

For CD writer , get Lite-On 52327S or 5238S or Sony CD writer.
For DVD ROM get Lite-On 165/166
For Combo (in case u want only this) get Lite-On 5232K

I will recommend that you go for separate drives. As you can see, price difference is minimal. So better keep them separate. If one of the things go out of order later, you have to replace only that one thing and not the whole thing. Secondly, you can still have at least some work done if at least one of them is working.

I wud say, wait for sometime till dvd-rw prices fall to 3k to 3.5k, or maybe go for it now itself. It wud save ur money on long run coz, one day u might be wanting to burn dvds, by it u can read/ run cds and dvds.

he is talking about dvd writers not dvd rom's. dvd-rw's are still costing around 4500/- bucks for 16x writers (any company).

@anilthomas26
go for separate drives and i suggest go for both liteon units. better to keep them of the same brand.

In my opinion go for CD Writer + DVD Rom
coz if one fails due to any reason the other
one will continues to run.

My sony drive screwed up in just one year's time, I wouldnt recommend anyone to buy a Sony.

Lite-On is OEM for/to for Sony, so I suppose they are just the same.

Samsung's new models of Combo drives (SM-352F, SM-352N and TS-H492A) are good ones. DONT BUY ANY OTHER MODEL OF SAMSUNG COMBO DRIVES THAN THESE THREE.

These three drives from have a redesigned tray, and have given no problems to me so far (I use the SM-352F).
