Samsung, LG, Plextor - all are good. For real quiet operation, go external. I have three of each - the externals rule silence. I have to look at the LED to see what they are doing.

I had that burner running in my HTPC and it worked great. Recently replaced it with an LG HD-DVD/Blu-Ray DVDRW drive but until then I liked it a lot. Was always quiet during movies.

I replaced an NEC 3540 that quit working and the Pioneer was much quieter.

DVD writers are mostly commodity kit: they generally either work or don't work. If you're seriously anal about media quality (which I am), you might want to visit the various optical drive sites. After scanning a few pages of their disc-write results, trust me, your eyes will begin to glaze over. That said, I personally narrowed it down to the Samsung SH-S203B and the Pioneer DVR-215DBK: CDFreaks measured them at 0.01 and 0.00 average per second error rates (PI-1 failures) when burning Taiyo Yuden dvd+r. They also did very well writing double-layer discs (though almost no one bothers burning these owing to media expense).

The DVD-215D is the SATA version of the Pioneer drive you linked. Unless you lack for SATA ports, I'd get that since it only costs a dollar more than the IDE version.

I ultimately decided on the Pioneer (there's something powerfully compelling about a 0.00 error rate) but bought the Samsung because Newegg had sold out of the Pioneer SATA drives when I was building my system early this month. Still wish I had got the Pioneer (I generally buy their dvd drives).

I'm not a big one for dvd-drive silence (I think I rather expect to hear the disc spinning), but customers review both as being relatively quiet, I believe.
