I am getting down to the last parts for my new system. I currently have two IDE DVD drives, one burner and one player. But for my new system I am thinking of going SATA.

Which ones would you recommend?

My system is as follows:
Intel Q6600 2.4 Ghz proc
Abit IP35Pro mobo
4 GB of RAM....still trying to decide which kit to get
Visiontek 4870 (sweet)
Antec Twelve Hundred case

Thinking of the WD 640 GB harddrive....

Corsair 750 watt psu

Windows Home Premium 64bit

Monitor is still in the research stage....probably 24"....

Thanks!!
 
The Samsung series are often recommended because they run more quietly than drives from other brands. See if you could find either the SH-S203B or SH-S203N (the N designates the one with LightScribe built in).
 
Six one way and half a dozen the other - Newegg it and see what's on sale. I have the Sony Optitarc (SP)and zero issues so far.
 
Samsung. Use them all the time at work and are quiet and reliable. Cheap too.
 
I have had 2 Liteons, one failed to read dual layers, after a whole ton of DVD burnings, the other is running strong. Just picked up a new Samsung 22x I believe, and it is running very quiet compared to the Liteon. I just love this Samsung so far anyway.

At the price of these drives, I think they are disposable, as is so much of anything these days.
 
My Asus isnt loud at all, ALOT quieter than the previous POS LiteOn I had.
 
If you're not looking for anything specific like the fastest or the quietest, I second the opinion to just find whats on sale at newegg, free shipping really cuts down on the price. I've owned sony, samsung, nec, liteon, and haven't had any troubles with the sale of the week item, generally quite pleased.
