are the toshiba dvd roms any good?

[Rimbaud36]

I found a toshiba 16 x dvd-rom/ 48x cdrom ( model DVD-TOSDM1502) for around $71.
Are the toshiba drives worth it?

They're considered by many to be the best!
I have it myself and it's great as a CD-ROM. Fast accesses, quiet, and detects the media fast. I haven't tried the DVD portion of the drive yet...

I've tried The Matrix on mine and it works great, when using it as CD drive it whirs alittle but access speed is good....I like it....

I think Toshiba makes good DVD's drives

They're great. I have a Toshiba dual-DVD player (not for my comp.) and they're really great quality because their bandwidth is very large. Unlike many other brands, my Toshiba can read bandwidths of foreign DVDs (I just bought a copy of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on DVD from China...thanks to my cuz).

Toshibas are great

Toshiba's are good drives. Toshiba is still going old-school with the tray. Unfortunately they don't make any SLOT drives like Pioneer, which are really nice. NO MORE FLIMSY TRAYS!!!!
