I just ordered most of the components for my new PC; but I need some input on good drives. I prefer SATA as I want to have good airflow and appreciate the slim cable. Lightscribe is not needed as I use printable Verbatim media.
I don't know about it being the 'best' SATA drive . . but the 20x LiteOn LH-20A1L-05 is sure the best 'bang for the buck' I've installed two of them and I'm very satisfied. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106073 Victor
Thanks Catfreak. After researching my options I had the Lite-on LH-20A1S among a short list of possibles. I believe the LH-20A1S is the same as the drive you listed except without Lightscribe.
