I need one that is completly silent, the rest of my HTPC is inaudible. Which ones do you guys use?
 
You could use a program like Nero DriveSpeed to reduce the speed of your drives and therefore make them quieter. :p

Other than that, I've had good personal experiences with Plextor and Teac drives.
 
I use AnyDVD to keep the drive down to 1x speed when playing a DVD. Works great.
 
I recently picked up a Samsung DVD-RW that is surprisingly quiet without any tweaks/changes. Much more quiet than my NEC ND3500's. I bet it could be made totally inaudible with nero DriveSpeed.
