Which DVD-ROM? (note: reader NOT writer ;) )
I'm looking for a cheap DVD reader (less than £20) to compliment my NEC writer.
So far found that the Samsung is a no no (aparrently messes up when used with Nero), and the Sony is also rather dubious
So far found these two which seem to have good write ups:
Benq 16x DVD-Rom
LG 16x DVD-Rom
Anyone have any comments or alternatives that I should look at?
TIA

I can't fault the Samsung DVD-ROMs. The Si-616 is a great piece of kit, if a tad pricey.
LG make good CD drives but their DVD drives leave a lot to be desired.
Benq, Asus & Pioneer all share the same internals and are good machines.
Expect a few quid change from your £20 though!

I have just spent £19 on an Asus DVD-E616P2 & apart from being very very quiet it has a high speed ATA100 interface where as most DVD-ROM drives are ATA 33/66
