Help in buying a dvd rom

I want to upgrade and get a new dvd rom, I have a LiteOn832S-DL dvd burner, should I get a liteon dvd rom?. What is a good one that is not too expensive that I can buy and any recommendations on where to purchase it. Thanks, Steve G.

 

Where abouts do you live sjg1999xp and what price range you talking.Is this to be your main drive for backing up.

 

I live in Jersey,I figured maybe ordering one on-line. I was thinking as much as 70. if that is feasible, I paid that for my dvd liteon burner. This will be my main drive, I think. I will have this and my dvd burner so yes I believe this is my main drive. Thanks

 

 ... Lite On XJ-HD 166S ... about $28 including shipping from NewEgg.com

 

Well you can't go wrong with a Lite-on dvd rom.I keep thinking of getting shut of my Lite-on drive for a NEC 3500.But as it is only just a year old and i love the drive i'm finding it hard to part with.

I don't want a dvd burner, I am happy with my lite on. I want a dvd rom for up to about 70. that is a good one, any ideas? Thanks

 

Make that $27.99 ... the Lite On XJ-HD 166S is NOT a burner

 I posted about a week ago (in the DVD-ROM drives forum / Best Drive at Reading Problem DVDs thread), sig1999xp, and everyone seemed to like the Lite On XJ-HD 166s

 

I am unable to get to that link or find that model on newwegg website, please advise when you get a chance...Thanks

 

There's two at this link: the first is black and refurbished, the second is beige and out of stock until 10/7

 

Thanks alot, I see it now, is it bad to go with a refurbished, I do prefer black though, what do you think?

 

I prefer new, though I know people who have had good success with refurbished .
Here's another link for a new black drive for $28.99 ...

Thanks again, I just placed the order

 

Hey just installed my drive but when I look at it in my device manager it says, sohd167t, I think that it is the Lite On XJ-HD 166S but I was just wondering. Thanks Steve

 

Thanks, I appreciate the help
