Hey guys, I would just like to know what the current best CD-RW drive and DVD-ROM (dont need to burn dvd's just read em) drives are... I don't just mean speed, I also mean quality.. I don't mind spending extra money for the best quality / support.. Plextor still in the lead in CD-RW? What about DVD-ROM drive? thanks for the info.
 
Lately, liteon seems to be making great products, and they seem to be cheap too. I ordered a liteon 16x DVD and a 32x12x40x burner drive, also liteon (they haven't come yet) 😉
 
I don't know about DVD-ROM's but when it comes to CD-RW's the two major IDE choices are Plextor and Lite-On. I think it's safe to say that Plextor's have marginally better performance than Lite-On's. However, you pay a premium for that small delta. Lite-On's have a much better cost-to-performance ratio.
 
I think so far almost all the reviews I've seen put the performance of the LiteOn drives above their Plextor counterpart.

Another good CD-RW brand that wasn't mentioned is Yamaha, and as for DVD-ROMs, Pioneer's great.
