Recently my DVD Rom decided that it no longer likes DVDs and will only read CDs. So im looking for a decent, reliable and cheap drive :heckle: (student)
My knowledge on DVD and CD drives is a little worse than awful so i was hoping u could throw me some suggestions on what to get.
My current DVD (broken drive) is a Sony DDU1612 DVD-ROM and im not wanting another as ive heard negative feedback about sony dvd drives since ive had this problem
Thanks in advance

pioneer 109.
I've been Asus DVD Rom drives recently and they are cheap, reliable and most importantly quiet! They also rip DVDs at about 14x using DVD Decrypter which is nice :D
Bout £16 from scan ohhh and they are short in length too which makes them neater as it hides the cabling
he meant dvd-rom as in readers I think - liteon ones are cheap, in fact most dvd drives are around 15 quid nowadays
I have always just bought any old cheap CD/DVD ROM and never had a problem with them :) The only ones I have had fail are from pre-built machines.
I second that.Quote:

Get a cleaning CD. Stick it in. Your drive will work again :)
Just don't get a Sony drive, really poor drives, noisy slow, and un-reliable.
Pioneer drives are always good.
