I need a slimline DVDRW by the end of the week advice please

[brambles]

I need a slimline DVDRW by the end of the week as I am making a media center. Can anyone help me and advise which is the best one to get? I am looking for a reliable burner as I burn many discs. I have been looking at the NEC AD-7593A 20x and the Pioneer KD-08 Slimline I am looking to spend around £30

@ brambles,

Whatever SlimLine Drive you are considering totally avoid Panasonic/Matsushita/Matshita Drives.

Panasonic/Matsushita/Matshita Drives have a well-documented history of being extremely “Media” picky.

Matshita/Matsushita/Panasonic Region Free (RPC-1) Firmwares are not available and also all “Software Solutions” alternatives are also unable to circumvent Matshita/Matsushita/Panasonic Region Code prohibitions.

Most Matshita/Matsushita/Panasonic Drive owners are disappointed in the performance of their Matshita/Matsushita/Panasonic Drives.
