I am new, hope you can help. I have been searching around the forums here, and there is a lot to take in
I am looking for a new DVD/cd writer. I want to:
- Burn data DVD/CD media
- Burn Movies
- Burn Music CD’s
- Occasional Game DVD/CD
- A decent reader/scanner.
- I want a black model or included black face plate.
- I like the review on the LG GSA-H10A but it appears to only be available at Newegg in beige.
I am looking at the following but please throw out other models if they are better. Right now these models have free shipping at Newegg:
Liteon:
LH-20A1P-186-Retail $33.99
LH-20A1P-185-OEM $33.99
**What is difference in the 185/186 at the end of part number?
Samsung:
SH-S182M-BEGN-OEM $30.99
SH-S183L-OEM $44.99 (This one may be over my buget)
**What does the M and L stand for?
I am also considering a Pioneer 111 or 112?
I want the best over all performance for the money (Of Coruse!)
I would like the drive to be fairly quiet. I have a 1653 now I think (it says 1673 but I flahed it to the 1673 a long time ago–Liteon). The Liteon is pretty quiet for the most part and has served me well–but I am looking for something better as that model is old now and I am not sure how long she has left.
Thanks for any input!
PS I am searching at:
- Newegg (I like the best).
- Mwave (ordered from them before)
- Zipzoomfly (not my first choice but searching there)
Any other good online stores to match the service of Newegg you can recommend??
