After some research, I decided to purchase the TDK 440N as my multi-burner. Lots of thought went into this. 1) Obviously the price. 2) Company (is it RIAA related, support, etc) 3) Speeds 4) Disc Formats 5) Hardware specs (buffer, benchmarks, etc) Too late for me to change now, but does anyone have thoughts regarding this burner? In comparisonb to many others it is awesome. I did not see any posts regarding this burner, but there seem to be many about the Sony and Pioneer drives. Feel free to share your thoughts, especially if you are one of the lucky owners of this multi-read/write drives. Peace, BernWern
Don't know if this helps, but in PC World Magazine it's one of the top DVD burners. http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,112036,00.asp I, myself have just purchased the Sony DRU-510A. Still waiting to be shipped, so I can't comment on it's performance yet.
