What's the BEST CD / CD-RW Burner / Drive? or BRAND?
I'm looking into getting a second CD-RW burner so I can burn CDs more efficiently (origional CD in one drive, blank in the other, so they read and write at the same time). I really like TDK, but their stuff is really expensive for what I want to do and my budget. I need a fast, reliable CD Burner. Does andybody have any suggestions as to models or brands? Sony, TDK, Plextor, Samsung, IO Magic, Teac, Asus, Lite-On, etc.? I'm looking for something around $30.00. NewEgg.com has those prices (if you thought that was too cheap).
ANY help would be much appriciated. Thanks!

Plextor Premiere is judged by many to be a very good model. I think the Sony models are pretty, good too.

I have this one:
Lite-On White 52X32X52 Internal EIDE CD-RW Drive, Model SOHR-5238S, OEM
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=27-106-939&DEPA=1
I'm using Roxio 6 that I purchased and it starts off about 18x and progresses up to 48x while it's burning usually takes about 2 min somtimes 3 min to burn a cd. I figured for $30 it was good enough for me. I've even bought a couple others that I installed in friends pc's and havn't heard a complaint yet. (hopefully I never hear a complaint!)
