well if your current one works well all you can really do is get one that will write faster

i have a pioneer drive that hasn't let me down yet and other makes like LiteOn are pretty good as well, as far as i can remember

take a look round the internet and find ones with good reviews

We watch these very closely... with mixed results. All optical drives are made mostly by machine by eleven companies, then sold under about 87 brands.

We think a lot of the Plextor, Yamaha, Pioneer, LG, Phillips, Samsung, and Liteon.

We do not think much of Sony, Sony NEC, Asus, Acer, HLDS, HP, LaCie, AOpen, Kangaru, Imation, and BTC.

I' have to say Plextor, they've always worked well. I just buy the cheaper drives now. I'm running some LG light-scribe drives now. $33 each or so. They work. Certainly a savings over the $100 that Plextor usually charges.
