I use Samsung. My hardware guy says it has better support from company during problems. BTW, I know this guy since last 6-7 years and my father knows him since he was born

Hi mariner,
Each person will be having his own opinion and view. My cosin has the Liteon Dvd rom and its really good. Yes even Sony is good. But I don't prefer Samsung for Dvd Roms. Even I have ordered Liteon in Digit offer.

Thank you guys for your help
I bought a Sony DVD drive for 2200.....cos i saw that no one said that sony was bad....i mean everybody agreed that sony is good quality so i had to give 200 more than samsung..... And i like it cos for one thing the tray doesnt make a lotta of sound while ejecting and inserting like my samsung CD drive and LG CD writer does. Thank you PPL |

O would say that, eb it sony, samsung, Lite-On go for the one which supports the maximum Formats, I would prefer a LG orLite-On DVD Rom Drive, reason, they both are really quite & operate goo as aDVD Drive, Lite-On is not available everywhere while LG has only 25 6KB buffer, but that won't affect in anything
I prefer LG if Lite-On is not available, cos it also supports all the DVD formats - & +, dual layer DVDs will not be availabel for another 1.5 years in India in mass quantity |

I would recommend the Liteon anyday. Samsung does not even support all formats and is crap.
Check reviews on hardcore cdrw sites and you will find Liteon is the hacker's favourite drive since it can read anything and copy anything. My Liteon can even read a scratched DVD which my friends Samsung spat out |
