I'd always suggest, when considering what DVD burner to purchase, that a
visit/browse through:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters
is a good idea.

Similarly when considering the purchase of a DVD player, the listing of
capabilities at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers is very useful.

Ditto with DVD (domestic) recorders at:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdrecorders

My local computer shop sells DVD burners for between £15 and £27. Not
Sony I'll grant you, but these days it seems to me that many top-brand
name items are badged from other (cheaper) makes/models.

"not Sony"?? By my recent experiences with them, that has to be a plus
point. These days, I'd pay a premium to /avoid/ Sony.

You still have not looked at the link then. It was a sarcastic note on the
fact 2 more 0's where added to the price by missing the point, like you.

Fairly recently I bought on EBay one of these amazingly small external
160GB USB2 external HDDs (no power supply required) for my Dell laptop.
I then thought it a good idea to swap it out for the internal HDD in the
Del XPS M1710. I wasn't really surprised when I look it out of it's Vaio
stamped and colour-coordinated case to see it was a Hitachi HDD. So far
(and it's had a lot of use) it has been utterly reliable (and fast).

Hence my comment about 'badged' components.

Also I might mention in passing that the spare battery I bought for my
Dell laptop was marked "Sony'. Also that the "exploding laptop
batteries" for which Dell relatively recently recalled were "Sony"
manufactured (or so it said on the labels).

Sad, but true. My Sony DVD burner died in a few months after purchase. I
can't say that I was writing 24/7/365, I wrote just 10-15 disks. Teac was
much better, but also died in a year with something. I'm testing a pretty
cheap Pioneer now writing all/over/all, any disk type or brand, high speeds,
etc., I paid for this drive about $50 and already wrote I guess close to 100
DVDs plus CD, CD-RW... Just one blank disk got a first problem earlier
today. I actually knew that it got a problem before I started burning
because I dropped it down and it got some dust particles and scratches on
the surface that I tried to blow away, without success. I just wanted to
test it out. One bit comparison problem in the very end of the record, I was
writing 4.5 GB file. No one else was destroyed or brought me any problem...
This DVD burner, btw 1810, works in the external box via USB port with the
laptop computer while I'm doing anything else. The funny thing that it's
cheaper in 2 times that the most expensive ones in the same store, and
actually it was the cheaest one when I bought it. Well I knew Pioneer for
many years. It can be loud, but never died in my hands without any serious
reason. Teacs were the very best, but this one just died for some reason, I
have no idea why. Maybe DVD disks that I was using were responsible for
that. I knew one box with Fujitsu, this box had a warning that these disks
can destry the burners. I didn't believe and I think that was the real
reason of my problems.
