I have a gift card for Best Buy so I am limited to what they carry. I use a laptop so I need to have external usb. Are either one of these worth owning? LG - SecurDisc 20x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Super Multi Drive Pioneer - 20x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive Sony - 20x External Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive Thanks in Advance.
Personally I would go with the Pioneer - great drives and one of my personal favs. Check the minimum requirements for the drive too. There's a few burners out there that have imo kinda high requirements. If you have a new laptop though that shouldn't be a problem.
Nope didn't read them first - glancing through them some gave good ratings and some didn't. Newegg only has one review for it - link. I have 2 Pioneers drive though both internal. One is over 3 years old and was used heavily - I still use it. I'd still lean towards the Pioneer but if you feel more comfortable with reviews than looks like the LG has the better ones on BB. This thread may help some - link
Pioneer is the "cadillac". Sony is a close second. I don't go by reviews. I go by experience. There are lemons in all brands. IMHO, Pioneer and Sony have consistent quality. I have owned 5 Sonys, 2 Pioneers, and 4 Lite-Ons. All worked well, but the Lite-Ons failed much earlier than the Sonys or The Pioneer.
