If you need a DVD burner, go for this. Samsung are the only ones I will trust. After my last burner(Sony Dru-720) died on me after 1 year and Sony customer service told me to go buy a new one without helping me troubleshoot I decided to go for this samsung since my samsung hard drive has been going for 5 years now with no problem at all.

Very quiet burner, installation was a breeze. Lightscribe works great for a simple job like wording 2-3 minutes but graphics will take quite a bit longer (20 min or so)

I bought this one from newegg. My old liteon one is broken. I like this one better. Liteon is sound much louder than samsung. for $30. it's a good choice.
