CD-Rom Drive: Which is the best?

[punk08]

I was wondering? which CD-Rom is the pretty good and at a reasonable price? I have a problem with the Sony 48x when recording from cd to cd, the software only recognizes it at 4x. So, I was wondering which CD-ROM drives are good? thanks

Toshiba is the best for using with clonecd.

I love my Mitsumi 48x, clonecd works well, great access time.

Search function would be usefull here...but to answer your question:

The Plextor Ultraplex Wide 40x is the best money can buy.

here is good place to look. if youre gonna copy music, DAE speeds are important. Also, has some info on DVD and data rates. I purchased an Aopen 952. they have them at newegg for 30 bucks plus shipping.
