DVD Rom drive recommendations

[ken]

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 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.

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.
