... and everyone i know uses a sony ...
its a tough one actually
and i think BenQ came on top .. or atleast value for money in some digit tests ...
samsung wasnt all that good
i think of these 4 listed the order was ... BenQ , Sony , LG , Samsung ..
yet id advice not to go for a samsung ...
guess u can pick ur choice on looks or price ... performance neither of the top 3 would give u any problems.

Lite-On 52327S. The Sony CRX225/230 is the same drive as the 52327S, with different firmware.

No. You'll need to flash them with Lite-On 52327S firmware to enable Mt. Rainier.

@salils - "UNBEARABLE NOISE PROBLEMS" .....  ru talkin about liteon dvd roms or cd writers.....i own both...belive me their r NO noise issues with liteon CD writers...only with liteon dvd roms that too is because of drive suspension.....another thing do a research about all copy protection supported by liteon....then u will knw why its a better driver than others.....

I have been using a Samsung Cd 12X Writer For 3Years and still is working without any problems many of my friends have purchased the latest samsung 52X cd writer with 8MB Buffer they are also comletely satisfied with it.
I will not force you to purchase a Samsung
Others might be good
But According To me Samsung is the "BEST"

hey cmon
sony rocks !!! it atleast aint "nuthin"
apart from that .... above all this id still vote for liteon ..
and agree with darklord .. if no liteon then sony !
liteon is cheaper than sony
dunno abt LG will have to look it up .
apart from that these drives arent that far apart in cost ..
the diff between 2 drives would be a MAX of Rs. 500

Well i have a Sony writer. i had been to lamington with frnds to buy writers for them. The both got a Sony 52x writer for 1725/-, the liteon equivalent was priced 1690/- that day. So not much of price difference, i guess.

Yaar i don't have these options u see, chandigarh is very limited when it comes to hardware options, what one dealer has every dealer has, and what one dosent' have no one will have. So either go to delhi/bombay or just buy what is available here !

The SOny doesn't have a CD-RW either. Heck, just get whichever is cheaper.. they are the same drive, and are equally good. Mt Rainier is only useful if you're going to do a load of packet writing.. it just reduces the formatting time of the disc and allows you to treat the CDRW disc as a giant floppy.. drag 'n' drop.

A LG user and blv me it's da best in its price range.
All the Samsung drives i've seen have been sufering from some shaky tray probs.
And ofcourse...Sony is da best buy if u paln to spend dat much.
