Quiet DVD drive....yes... I searched first ;)

[Tanner]

Hey people... I'm sorry if this is a repost..but after searching I didn't find anything.

I've been eyeing the Cendyne CC dealio for $29 AR's and also the Newegg.com offerings, especially the Pioneer Refurb w/ tray

I was just wonderin' if any of these drives would be "loud." I don't want the drive ruining the movie for her...and I certainly don't want it to be a nuisance! Any one have any experience w/ these?

TIA and God Bless! 😀

hehe. anyway, i heard pioneer drives were notorious for being noisy.

yup..have to agree that pioneers are loud. my room mate has one, sounds like a jet engine. toshibas, on the other hand, are pretty quiet. i also have a liteon, and its not too noisy either, less than the pioneer, but not quite as quiet as the toshiba.

yall are right... DANG I'm SUCH a moron this weekend! I can't WAIT for monday (sick isn't it?) but I've just been completely ignorant this weekend! BLEH!

Thanks though! I think I'll take the advice from drewdogg808 and check out the LiteOn or the Toshiba 😉

My Sony 16x DVD is as quiet as a mouse.

I was ready to buy a pioneer before I saw this post.

I want a quiet drive for my computer that I can flash with regionfree firmware.


I also notice newegg is selling ASUS DVD-ROM drives. Wonder if they are as good as their MBs?


Video is the wrong forum? I want to use my DVD to watch videos so sounds right to me.

JK!
