I've heard the NEC ND-3500A is a good one. 16 speed

Default Been done to death.....

This topic has been covered off many times more recently, but the 2 that seem to be the better/most popular seem to be the pionneer 108 and the similar NEC...

I'm sure if you hit the search button...... you can get a better idea of why peeps have gone this route....

I myself favour the 108....

I hope the NEC is a good one, I've just ordered one for my new build.

I had looked on PC Hardware forums, and people were recommending it.

Pioneer/Piodata 108 and NEC 3500a are the only two you should really consider (unless you can find an Asus 1648 which is a cheaper, re-badged 108)

Both equally future proof and well supported in respects of firmware upgrades.

The pioneer's have more hacked firmwares (RPC and burn speed) available, thanks to the continuous hard work of the Dangerous Brothers
