    im sure alot of people would say buy the plextor one.

    but you can gat a lite0on burner for cheap and they are really good. Dont buy the expensives once as they are waste of money.

    That is because Plextor drives are renowned for their quality, and worth every penny you pay for them.

    I gotta agree with zippyd. When I bought my 716 it was twice as much as the others, Benq, NEC, Lite-On, etc. It was still worth every penny

    I agree that my Plextor 716 is great but so is my Benq 1620 and Lg 4163. They are all worth looking at. IMO

    Plextor is without a doubt the better of the two drives listed but I would also consider many other drives better than toshiba also such as benq, lite-on, LG, and NEC. Plextor is the caddy but the others I listed will do a fine job.
