Recommended DVD Rom Drive?

[XBoxLPU]

Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you don't care about performance, try Toshiba 1912. But if you can find the older 1712, it'd be even better.

Give the Asus E616P a try. It has something called Quietrack technology which is supposed to dampen the vibration of CDs spinning at high speeds, including heavily-silkscreened ones.

I'm pretty happy with mine; it's almost as quiet as the old multibeam Kenwood CD ROM drives.

Yes, the Asus drive is nice.

Weird, newegg has two versions:

They look like the same thing to me... Order the cheaper one. Newegg has been known to screw up a product inventory update here and there.

Alright just ordered from ZZF

If you don't mind sacrificing speed for quietness, try running Nero DriveSpeed to change how fast your drive will spin. If you're just playing a movie, you can drop the speed way down for silent operation.

I got the Asus today and it is so much quieter then my NEC3500



Thanks again !
