Lite-On is the way to go.
by tyler_tyron Jan 4, 2005 9:08AM PST

For all my cd/cd-rw/dvd/dvd burners i have only gone with Lite-On. Very fast. Reliable. However if you want an extremly silent computer, sometimes these can be a little noisy when loading extreme amounts of data. Not too loud, because i can tolerate it. Try this one and see if it is what you are looking for:

and I like it a lot. note i got a big discount from cirtcuit city by buying it thru their website and picking it up at their store-- buying it at the store was $40 more! - fj

note you may need nero burning rom for some things but the bundled software works very well.

Nero

Nero is great. I most of the time find it cheapest online. The one that i previously linked includes the Nero software and PowerDVD.
