Best Buy has the subject DVD+RW/+R Drive after rebate for $79. It is only 4X. It this an OK internal drive for casual use? I think they also have an 8x drive on sale for $99.

That's the prices I pay for such. At that price compared to last year, I expect such to last a few years but not past that.

I would avoid a + only drive, the industry standard has been decided, it's DVD-R and DVD-RW. You would be much better off with a combo drive. You can get a Pioneer A06 for $139 and they have a $30 rebate, giving you a net of $109 or less, and they do + and - and come with very good software.
