Well mdrew i can only add to the list. I've used yamaha's in the past that lasted forever. I've got a Plextor that cost me double any other burners but it has been solid, fast and silent. I recently bought a Pioneer dual layer dvd burner and although it is more noisy than the Plexy, it was only $38 Cdn, and it is fast.
