DVD burner?? which one should i buy?

[happy17292]

I am looking for a SATA DVD writer as my new motherboard does not support my current IDE DVD writer..

i rarely write any Cd/DVD. So writing speed does not really worries me. i just want a long lasting drive

my old LG DVD writer [IDE] is 3.5 years old and still works perfectly.

plz suggest a good and reliable burner.

My personal experience with 2 Asus DVD drives ( both bought on 2009 ) was not good but looking at the the customer feedbacks DRW-24B3ST looks to be a good drive you can get.

Most of the Asus DVD drives has 1 year warranty but acc to the asus optical storage warranty policy this may vary :

Warranty period may differ regionally, please check with your purchase Site.

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Warranty Policy DRW-24B3ST

But on even newegg the warranty is showing 1 year on this drive ... so before getting it ask flipkart about actual the warranty period and let us know about this.

what about LG drives??? they are cheap and my current drive is working well. never gave any problem since i bought it 3.5 yrs ago

I've one LG Drive 6 years old and another Sony Drive 7 years old - both are working till now

I think flipkart has made a typo about the warranty.
