It sounds fairly standard.

thanx, ordered.

Usually, these are ~$33 WITH a shipping cost on top of that

i believe the pioneer dvr111d is about 32 bucks in newegg as well. it reads DVD-RAM (since they cant possibly add any new features or increase the speed, i guess DVD-RAM reading would be a new 'feature', albeit useless to many)

Put ND-3550A in the title. The thread will get more hits that way.

for a user with no software the samsung is a better deal as it includes software + DVDRAM and lightscribe capability...

Tried the samsung, I have the nec 3550. Definitly go with the benq. I have the 1655 benq and I get no bad burns on any media all the time. Newegg is out of the 1655 currently but the 1650 is around $27 and should do similar burns. Skip the benq dq60. Its just a pioneer drive.
I have never seen any current pc component that was so rediculiously superior to its competition. I bought my drive for $55 and in comparision to my nec 3550 I would still pay the $55 price. Bottom like I regularly have burn failures with the nec and others but so far have only had 1 inexplicable failure with my benq. And thats with name brand sony and fuji media. So far only verbatim workes reliably in my other burners.
Learn from my horrible experience with dvd burners.
benq 1655 A++++
nec 3550 B-
Samsung C
nec 2510 C+
btc D+
Liteon 811 F

Ya, but it addes $5 shipping. I wish beige was on sale?!

 

[SparkyJJO]

too bad I already bought mine a few months ago when it was $38, o well

 

[straightalker]

Payed 65$ for the previous version a few months ago. Mybe a year ago. The 3520A

good drive

best for the price most likely if you want the highest price/perrformance ration

 

[EagleKeeper]

Still showing at $28.99

In my experience the NEC drives are merely okay. Only issues I've seen are media compatibility and being unable to burn at faster speeds (can't even select it). My slightly older Pioneer burns everything I throw at it - at faster than media-rated speeds. NEC burns okay, but just slow. Maybe just my media choice.
