    I've searched and searched and searched for the best reasonably priced combo drive and i think i have found it. It reads at 52x! writes at 52x! Rewrites at 32x! and plays DVD's at 16x! I know that the data transfer rate is very fast.

    But I still need to check that there aren't any real big downpoints in the drive i.e noise, for £30 it's sweeet!

    The drive is a LiteOn SOHC - 5232K. 52x-32x-52x-16x

    PS: The info is on this site page

    Uh ya, thats Lite On for ya. Topgun drives at rock bottom prices. All the drives I buy are LiteOn.

    It may be 75db, but I doubt it.

    yeah i guess 75 db WOULD be a price to pay for the unbelievable data transfer rate. if it is 75db that is. maybe that is when it's really trying it's hardest. well LiteOn rule!:grinthumb

    Lite-On or Plextor. IMHO you can't go wrong with either. Rock-solid.

    Yep - those are the only two brands I buy now - and I have tons of them. I love both brands (was hard for me to admit it about LiteOn because I'm such a long time fan of Plextor.)

    The 75db as mentioned is the signal-to-noise RATIO, not the noise-LEVEL (probably no more than 35db)

    In analog and digital communications, signal-to-noise ratio, often written S/N or SNR, is a measure of signal strength relative to background noise. The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB).

    Read more about it here:

    Oh rite that's pretty damn close to my pc's average noise level so you wouldn't hear it. Cool, well cheers for your advice guys.

    LiteOn is the Light to Freedom!!
