Nowadays a DVD-writer is a DVD-writer. There's not much more to it. Its like buying a CD-ROM drive. Buy the cheapest available with good warranty and hope that it doesn't fail. And if it does, get another one (no point repairing...).

Dude,the Sony DRU-830A is a rebadged Samsung SH-S182D and the burns are not very good.So be aware of what you're buying.
