i'd go for the samsung sata drive, can't stand pata leads. i think all drives have similar peformance thesedays, gone are the days when owning a plextor actually meant something performance wise.

Decided to get a new DVDRW as my current one is playing up... but i can't decide which DVDRW i should get.
As the topic says best and fast, i'm indeed looking for a fast drive... not just at reading but also at writing of course. Anyone got any suggestions?
Bezel colour doesn't matter as i'm moving into a more convenient case soon (secret project eta March time) and so the bay covers will be stealthed.
Lastly does SATA drives make bugger all difference as opposed to normal IDE drives? I suspect is more down to the actual drives capabilities rather than the sort of connection it uses.
Budgets between cheapo £20-50. Thats enough for a good optical... even the cheapo ones look interesting... but i don't know
edit: It also has to be a Dual Layer DVDRW too![]()
