    I would recomend the BenQ 1640 cause it was copied by Plextor ... so you know they were doing somthing right if someone copyed them.

    Get the one with "Light Scribe" as it allows professional laser etched labels on your discs. Be aware that special coated discs are required to burn the labels. I understand they are about a dime extra per disc than regular recordable discs.

    I recommend the BenQ 1640 as well. I bought one based on the recommendations of people here, and after researching pretty thoroughly, concluded they were right. I am very pleased with it so far. Here is a good comparison of new DL drives. See for yourself.

    By the way, at $40 from Newegg.com, how can you go wrong?!?
