Hey, I think my current burner might be going (still need to run some more tests), and I'm looking for a recommendation on a new one.
My old one is a (TDK SD-5002 I think), as for a new one, I really don't care about speed as long as it can definitely do 1x in addition to whatever higher speeds it supports. My #1 criteria is reliability. Anything that has a rock solid reputation and is likely to last me a couple years and/or has a nice warranty is good. My second criteria would be price since I don't want to spend too much, although that shouldn't be a problem seeing as how I'm not looking for bleeding edge. I'd prefer a -+ burner, but hell, I'll take a regular DVD-RW burner if its reliable enough.
If you don't know of any particularly good ones, at least tell me some BAD ones to avoid.
