welcome to the board mate....

it is already discussed...., u should have searched.
ok.
if u want a cd writer then go for a cd writer and a dvd rom seperately.
i believe samsung is the best available...

[icecoolz]

stay farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr away from the Samsung drives esp the writers....go for a Liteon either for a CD writers or for combo drives....

Must be one of those freak accidents that happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol...nice one Pradeep.... drgrudge, exceptions do not make reccomendations...Samsung optical drives suck big time...period...ask a millions people and 1% might be on ur side. Its a known fact that Samsung optical drives develop issues after 6 months. Nothing against you mate but gotta tell the guy the facts. I should cos I own a Samsung drive

Go for Liteon. No margin for complaints. Buy seperate drives for DVD & CD writing. Combos have a higher rate of failure. On second thoughts, why don't u buy the Liteon Dual layer DVD writer- RS-5750/- !!! Best deal buddy.

well buddy same here. the samsung cdrw is 2 yrs old and going strong and the samsung dvd rom is only coupla months old but no probs.

@icecoolz looks twice two freaky incidents eh ???

ok guy i will spill my advice. DONT GO FOR COMBO DRIVE. Buy it separately because if the drive goes wrong you may be in a condition to give the drive for service. Suppose if u are going for a separate drives (CDRW & DVD). If one goes wrong u can have other. More over do not go for Samsung and LG. Go for Sony or LITEON. I think so liton will be best. Further you can wait for some day (maybe months) wherein u can get a DVRW (Single layer) at affordable price( in 4 thousands now current rate is 6 thousands)

understand me jeba, i am having for the past 5 years and still working fine here!

[gamefreak14]

Buying any optical drive from samsung is a sin....Take it from me, I've owned 4 drives....none were as bad as samsung.
Right now...LiteON, LG and Sony..in order.
And dr.grudge, don't repeat ur opinion again. I've already read it thrice

[Albatross]

hey guys thanks a lot for the replys, but plz tell me if i go for a combo dirive what problems can occure.....

[xenkatesh]

GO for LITE On Its price is low and good performance...

[busyanuj]

use Search feature of the forums, you'll find a lot of info on dvd rom drives, especially in the Hardware Discussion section of the forums.

@gamefreak14, i only posted here once(the first one to do so), remaining two were replies, see it properly!and even mariner posted twice.
and it is my wish that i post again wht's ur problem?
see all that crap posts in the general discussion?
and dont say it is "SIN", just because , it dint go fine with u.


@Albatross,exactly i dont know wht problems it can cause, but it's life be be long enough.
moreover a seperate drives costs only a 200-250 rs. more, get a seperate drives.
