Suggest me a DVD Burner

[sagardani]

Hello everyone,

I want to buy a DVD Burner that can also burn multi-layer DVD.

Some people told me most of the writers can last as long as maximum 1 year only. Is this true?

Which is most stable?

Sony, LG, Asus, Samsung.... which is really worth?

Please also specify the current prices in Indian market.

And what does that have to do with Open Source?

Benq 1650 or LG H10A. Try and stay away from sony whatever people say.

It was posted in Open Source Section. I moved it here.
Coming to the question, I have Benq 1650 which many people suggested me. It seems to be going good for me.

From what I have heard, sony DRU 820A is rebadged benq DW 1655. If that's so, then what is the advantage of going for sony?

 

[bharathbala2003]

i aint no nothin bout wat u tellin.. nyway i haven used benq stuffs much prefr samung somehw but tis time got da lg n got screwed up.. its such a sick drive will read cd,vcd etc but not dvd.. gave it for repairin once n got it dne free also worked for a day then again.. changed to another one he gave again same prob.. so id suggest u go for sony or benq

All Sony drives are rebaged LiteON/BenQ drives. I'd recommend BenQ DW1650.

SAMSUNG--No probs using since 2 yrs

 

[mehulved]

I wouldn't even touch Samsung. For reasons just search the forum, you will find plenty of posts on that.

Wider tech support and proboably more firmware updates.

hmm... thanks guys...

Go for a LiteOn or a Sony! Sony delegates his DVD burner production to Liteon!
There you go!
