    How noisy is it?
    Is it when burning or etching a lightscribe label on a disc? The etching might be noisy - the burning shouldn't be.

    @ZoSoIV
    I thought you had some LiteOn's - or just Plextor maybe?
    Mine LiteOn are very quite.

    No sata drives here (yet :)) but my LiteOn's are very quiet, same with the Pioneer and LG.
    The only one that somewhat loud is the crappy burner in the laptop - matshita.
    I'm not thinking Kev96 should really be that loud at all.

    Karen the sata drives are the way to go there a little faster plus they run cooler

    Kev96, i don't think there is anything wrong with the drive there just noisy, you could exchange it from tiger direct www.newegg.com is also a great place to pickup parts
