basically i have a NEC2500r already but i'm having trouble with read errors, only on certain disks and the unit writes perfectly so im sure there is not a hardware problem. Im now thinking of a DVD rom drive to supplement the burner, just for reading disks. must be black, anyone have recommendations of a unit thats particularly good with scuffed disks ??
thanks.
I have the Samsung SD-616QBB 16x48x DVD-ROM (Black) from OcUK. Works fine for me
Again Any LiteOn optical drive will do you, solid as a rock build wise and as for compatability, reknowned to be the ones to read, clone, copy anything.....

I vote for Lite-On
I recomend a sony. I put one in a PC i built for a friend and hes had no problems with it. I tried a few of my DVDs in there and they all worked fine (a few ar a little scuffeD and they worked fine). They also look a lot nicer than i expected them too. :D

I would definately go with Falcon on the sony drives as I havent had a single problem with them in the past and find them to be really good even with scuffed disks
I like AOpen opticals :) seem to read anything I care to chuck at 'em :) Both my DVD and CDRW are AOpen and are diamond! Had the DVD for 4yrs now iirc at runs at ATA66 which makes installs fly!
Try the NEC-1100A It's good, It's a DVD+R/RW format DVD burner, But It also does double duty as a cd reader/burner too, Not that I burn too many cd's now of course.
