cant go wrong with a liteon - check the hot deals sites and get one of those rebadged one from omax or staples - end up costing you about $30-40 - they will burn anything with proper software and very reliable

for burning I use Nero (which comes with most liteons) - for raw burning you may need clone-cd or one of it's cousins - i'm sure someone else will point yyou in the right direction

I've had several plextors and hp's before that, all good but now have had 3 different liteon's and think they're great plus inexpensive.

I've also used Nero for the last two years and use cloneCD to copy cds.

Another vote for Lite-on. I've literally bought dozens for clients and have 2 myself. I love 'em. Usually $50 - $65 SHIPPED at NewEgg.

i have a liteon a aopen and a hp, liteon and aopen both work awesome for what i paid for them (rebages) Cendyne's , but the hp that cost 3 times as much burns coasters, go figure- the burn proof and just link on the aopen and liteon are awesome features

I bought a 48x24x48x liteon recently and its great. I use alcohol 120% or clone cd and it will copy everything Ive put in it so far.

was reading this, and became kinda curious, what exactly IS raw format? is that referring to cd-copying??
