DVD and CD-RW

[IanE]

I'm debating on whether or not to get a DVD/CD-RW combo drive, I'm looking at the AOpen Chameleon, or if I should get 2 separate drives... what are your opinions, and any suggestions on which brand and model to get.

Thanks,
Ian

<--using an LG 4480B(yes its old..still pulls 6x to 8x) ..very quiet drive ..had dealt with a BTC combo but def no like..built one couple a system w/ a Liteon combo ..it was a solid drive but a lil loud for me tho..gl

Two drives are only really useful when they have the same capability - then you can copy material from one drive to another. I would shoot for two combos!

Since they're under $100, why not get a DVD+/-RW drive? Or even a pair of them. Picked up the 8X dual-layer NEC 2510A and it's pretty decent at both CD-R and DVD-R writing.

Another computer I use a lot has a DVD-R drive already, and I have abundant access to it.
