I have the samsung s203b and the sony g170s flashed to optiarc 7173s. The latter gives much better burns on most media… almost as good as the benq 1640 on +R and way better burns on -R.

Only got the above 6 ones available online…so which wud b d best of the lot..??

10

Samsung S203B

btwn others had earlier reported samsung had probs…:S

Also aint Samsung SH-S203B SATA..den its out coz I need a PATA one…:slight_smile:

wat abt Liteon/Moserbaer Liteon…?

12

LG or Sony.. Choice is yours.. Both are Kickass

13

buying from rediff is not safe as they have not mentioned any model numbers :no:

better buy a LG H55N (PATA), LITE-ON LH-20A1P (PATA) or Samsung SH-S203B (SATA) locally :slight_smile:

14

even indiatimes doesnt have nos..:no:

btwn rediff has got model no for Liteon…:blush:

Liteon? 20X DVDRW - Double Layer DVD Writer

BLACK AND WHITE PANEL

Liteon LH-20A1PInternal DVD-RAM, DVD+R Double Layer, DVD-R Dual Layer and DVD+R/+RW Drive

Sony by the look & specs looks like Sony DRU-840A:slight_smile:

Dnt no abt LG…:frowning: They have given its 20x..& LG’s 20x is **GSA-H55N **but its got LightScribescribe but the abov mentioned doesnt have tat,:fear:

So Liteon would be the safest bet rgt…:wink:
