Please tell me which DVD Writer has long-life and burn sensitive Data to DVDs and CDs, which could be reliably read for long time.

Thanks

It varies from person to person.... Different person faces different experience with different brands....

For me Sony is good. Still using a 4.5 yrs old Sony DVD-RW with no complaints. Burned more than 800 CD/DVD on that (I am NOT lying)
Another LG was dead only in 1.5 yrs without burning much
So got a new Sony which is also good (Burned 100 copies so far)

I once read on a review on digit that lite on writers are the best, but that was a long time ago.

+2 for Sony. Used LG for 6 months, got corrupted, used Lite On for just 2 months, got damaged, from July,2008 I am using Sony DVD-RW, till today not a single problem. So I'd highly recommend Sony though it surely depends user to user.

all drives fail but Sony failure rate is highest. the old Sony drives used to be best but nowadays quality have came down. i'll say pick according to serve provided.

i used 3 DVD writers (1 was a combo drive till now).

1st: 5yrs ago. brought new PC & brought a LG combo drive. after 1.5yrs it started problem with reading DVDs. some Digit DVD were read. some don't. also found CRC (cyclic redundancy check) error on many DVDs & finally CDs. soon it died in 2yrs.

2nd:Sony DVD writer (boxed). worked just fine for 6months & than BANG. problems. errors. changed it (at Rashi Peripherals). gt a replacement. but i feel its a used part. changed it when just 1 week warranty was left. warranty over, writer over.

3rd: LG DVD writer (using currently). no problem till now. 2-3 months old.

i not saying those writers went bad cause of technical defects but maybe cause of the cheap 450W frontech PSU i was using then.

Samsung is teh suck. It scratches the dvd

scratches DVD :shock: wait, let me check.............. aah, mine is LG. i safe :mrgreen:

are asus dvd writers good?

Pioneer relabeled. Pioneer DVD writers were one of best but Asus writers sucks lot. partly due to Rashi. Rashi mayn't replace your DVD writer, depending on their "mood".

And yes nowadays the price has gone down so rapidly as well as the quality of the products. I don't like it:evil:

even a cheap 1k handset comes in a box nowadays with proper manual & all. DVD writers doesn't even comes sometimes. just you'll get is a disc reading "NERO.........." & if you lucky, a packet of screws (i not received on the LG drive).
