DVD writer - which to buy?

[premsharma]

Brought a Samsung 18X dual layer SH-S182 DVD Writer packed fresh ,while on travel in a place called Kottayam,For Rs-2050/- and the other brand they have is SONY for Rs-2000 they called it OEM,with only the SONY writer drive available,no case,driver cd,nothing.i am in full mood to buy the writer drive.SO brought Samsung drive.waiting to see whether it is worth or not.OH yeah my first cd drive was a samsung with the tray problem.They have no other drives in stock-the dealer is Ozone Systems,Kottayam.
I should've brought the writer from Cochin(Nearer),but temptation caused the buy out from other town.
SO Guys is this price OK?

Sony OEM is arround 1650. Prices for other writers have fallen below 1900 now.

Well I have lost belief in Sony & samsung dvd writers...Rite now both have problems..And when I came to know that Sony is using Samsung's prototype then I have taken an oath never to look at Sony again...Liteon is best...even Gigabyte uses liteon's technology

I suggest you to go for Lite-On or Asus becoz they are more reliable
