		I love my NEC. Haven't had a single problem They are much cheaper as well.

		hey racketboy,what model is your DVD recorder? im browsing their website right now and theres a bunch...also,is it hard installing them? external usb burners sound better but they're pricier i guess (is it even worth it messing with externals? any disadvantages??)

		I wouldn't mess with an external personally. Internals are VERY easy to install. Mine is the older 8X single-layer version. Can't remember the model #, but they probably don't sell it anymore. Just go to Newegg.com and look for an NEC one with good ratings.

		Honestly I don't own a DVD burner but the NEC ND-3520A has been recommended to me repeatedly and I in turn have recommended it to several others and all have loved it! Cheap too... ~Krelian P.S.: In Anandtech's... DVDR roundup they gave the NEC top prize! (See bottom of Fall 2004 DVDR Roundup Conclusion...) [EDIT: grammar correction]

		I currently own a pioneer A06, when I upgrade soon it will be to either the latest pioneer model or the latest NEC model. Hope that helps.

		I have one 6month old LG dvd burner, very cool... -DVD RAM -DVD RW (+-?) -DVD R+ -DVD R- -CDR -CDRW The only problem is that it is pretty slow for CDR burning (24x only)... Maybe i'm "has been" but i'm still impressed this burner does all the CD/DVD medium type availables

		I keep a seperate cd burner in my pc that I use when burning cd's. It's a 40x sony. Bought it right when 40x burners came out, cost a ton of $$$ =|

Luckily the drive was delayed in Europe while they tried to sort out the problems but many people who bought the drive in the US at the start had major problems and plenty of RMAing of the drives happened.
