Ok. My Plextor PX-740A (Reflashed to BenQ 1640) has finally given up on me today. Thing just stopped responding while burning and upon reboot cannot be recognized at all on all my PCs. I was thinking about buying another BenQ (16420/1640/1650) but I found the original box and the receipt and found out that Best Buy will replace my dfective drive with a new one. Too bad these guys don't carry BenQs but here is a list of drives that they have to offer: Comstar DVR-S111B HP DVD940e HP DVD940i LG GSA H22LI LG GSA E10L Lite-On EZ Dub SOHW-1673SU Pioneer DVR-710B5PK Samsung SH-S182M/BSBN Samsung SH-S183L/B Samsung SE-W184M/AMBN Sony DRU-830A Sony DRX-830W Don't know much about these drives or whether they are rebadged as something else. Also, for some reason they stopped carrying Plextors =( Any suggestions would be appreciated. Want to get things up and running by Saturday when the new releases come out. Thanks in advance.
In my opinion lite-on and pioneer are the way to go. I have 3 pioneer drives and they have not failed me yet.
the Lite-On drives are the way to go if you aren't going with Plextor. when buy the Plextor fo with the Premuim Series NOT the value series being there rebadged
