New Cheap DVD?

Aight guys,
I have no clue about anything when it comes to DVD drives. Need to know of a cheap, quiet, decent dvd rom drive. I see afreey makes one thats selling for like 29$. If its like everything else out there, then Im guessing the cheapest is the worst =) Well thnx!
 
You might want to try the For Sale/Trade section. They do have a lot of decent items especially if you only want an 8X drive.
 
Go for a Riate DVD drive. They cost like $12, and have a 60-70% failure rate. Oh yah, they just went out of buisness, read their webpage, it is funny as heck.

Nice they host the website at geocities.
 


<< wow that is funny. but ne way!

yeah no one has an opion about the afreey 10x for 29$?

Never used an afreey.

Name is hard to pronounce, so it is probably not good. 😛
 
the Afreey has slower access times than Pioneer or Toshiba drives, but at that price, you can't really lose. I'd look for a Pioneer 10X or a Toshiba 8X or 12X drive if you want something a little better.
 
MWave has a Hitachi 8X DVD for sale for $39. I got one for my Uncle and it is a great drive. It is without a doubt the most silent drive I have ever heard (or not heard). I also had a Hitachi 6X DVD a while back and it was also a very good drive. You should check it out.
 
Ddad,
Sweet, someone who has one. Ok if you would do this for me:

On 1 to 10 scale (1 worst-10best)
Noise
Performance (ne DAE benchs, any skipping, anything like that)
Reliablitiy (any troubles)

THNX MAN!
