I've done some research and found these three drives to be recommended by various people.
BenQ 1655 - This drive seems to be recommended by a lot of people on the forums. Well, the BenQ 1640 is the particular drive that was recommended, but this is it's next model. The lightscribe is a very nice feature, but is completely unimportant to me.
Pioneer DVR-110DBK - This drive was recommended in Anand's last price guide. That doesn't tell me if the drive was recommended because it's a good drive for it's price, or if it's because it's a good drive. And yes, there is a difference. Does anyone have experience with this drive?
Plextor PX740A - Plextor seems to be the best of the bunch no matter where you look, and it's price shows. Current rebates have this drive at $60, which is about $10 more than the other two (and the annoyance of waiting for a rebate). Does this drive justify the added cost?
Thanks for your input.
