im thinking of purchasign a internal 16x dvd burner, which one would it be? pioneer 109 or sony? which one is best performace but QUIET! in black color. i wanna order one asap so please post your opinions! any trouble with refurbs?
 
i want to spend $40-55 but i mean it if extradonary features worth the buck im willing to go higher.. but most are around this range.

pioneer 109 is $43

16x dvd+/-
6x dvd-dl


what is the diff between the pioneer 109 and nec ?
 
I've got the NEC-3500A and it's very quiet, also very good. The NEC-3520A is said to follow suit.
 
the 3520A burns cd faster and now supports dvd-r DL with the 3.07FW. so they are pretty much identical, except the pioneer's warranty is provided by pioneer but the NEC via newegg i think. also when you buy refurb you risk something not working and you'd lose some warranty as well.
 
only thing about some NEC drives is they can cause hassle with certain discs, im having a few problems with my 3500AG at the moment, might send it back
 
The http://www.Geeks.com has been selling the Philips-based Benq 1620 (seems to be highly regarded on CDFreaks.com) for $39.99 on their frequent sales. (I just looked and Newegg's price is lower than the Geek's shipping included) Revised: the one the Geek's have been running sales on is the Retail kit - definitely cheaper than Newegg (but not if you do apples-to-apples shipping - only if you ship ground). I haven't seen their Sizzling Sunday sale (usually runs from late Sun. eve thru early Mon. morning Eastern time) yet today - keep your eyes peeled.
. But between the two you listed I'd pick the Pioneer. The Sony's are basically LiteOns and the LiteOn DVD burners aren't maintaining the high regard earned by their CD burners.

It's not pioneer or sony or nec, and it's not refurb, but I got my DVD +/- RW drive from newegg for only $109. It's a LaCie 16x/4x/16x w/ lightscribe (crap load of full version burning software. VERY awesome).
