All the DVD writers are rubbish nowadays, get that straight. It is not 2001, that the HP writer which was bought for some 7k still runs! Just get whatever you like.
My personal experience, at first had HP, store said ( in fact guaranteed :p ) it'll go for six months, but it actually was good for two years before going dead, a 1200 rupees one. Now I have Asus, it's just five months old, so no comments yet, 1300 rupees.
The worst experience I've had with Lite-On Lightscribe writer. You won't believe, that writer drove me nuts! I bought it for almost 3.5k if I remember correctly, back in 08, and then i had to run to service center three times, each time they repaired, and every time it ****ed up in no time. And the service center in Calcutta where I had to go was an awkward experience too, some bloody old building, fourth floor without any lift, and a sodding lengthy building which never ended, uff, horrible memory. So I'll not suggest Lite-On just due to my own experience, but maybe they've changed or I've just got a faulty product.
The only writer brand for which I never had to run to a service center was Sony.

There's not much difference in most DVD writers. Personally speaking I had a LG Drive working flawlessly from 2007-11 after which I upgraded my PC and got a ASUS drive which has been working well for 3 years now.

A question...(as been away from Tech News for a long time)...

1.) Which is the latest Socket (1150 or 1155)
and
2.) Their Corresponding Motherboards (those Z87, Z97)
also,
3.) The latest and better improved Processor (Haswell, Broadwell)

:confused:

:confused:

1. 1150 is latest.
2. 87 and 97 both has 1150 compatible socket.
3. Haswell

Asus DVD/RW's are best as mine is working flawlessly since 2012 onwards...

I'm looking for a new motherboard for my older pc which has a pentium d 805 cpu,my budget is around 2.5k.A local computer store suggested a zebronics 945 chipset based motherboard which costs Rs 2900-is it worth buying(even though it exceeds my budget slightly).Is there anywhere else in kolkata from where i can procure a 945 series motherboard for a lower price?
