I've held off getting a DVD writer for home longer enough. I did some research tonight and came up with the previously mentioned drive. It came down to a toss-up between it and the Pioneer DVR-108 that also came highly recommended and often reviewed.
Currently it's going for $72 ($68 + $4 s/h) at Newegg with some free 4X DVD+R Newegg branded media.
I considered waiting for the Plextor 716 series to make their way to the market, but most likely they're going to command a premium, probably in the $150 range initially. I think in the long run this is gonna end up being the best deal especially since I need a solid high-capicity backup solution.
What do you all think? Should I buy, or not buy?
