I can\'t really suggest any of these since I haven\'t read reviews. Check out http://www.cdrlabs.com or http://www.cdfreaks.com for those. (among other sites)

I can say that the Plextor PX-708a (8X) is fantastic.

Not a single coaster among the ~30~ DVD\'s I\'ve burned and ~50~ CD\'s. $139, NewEgg.

Since you neglected plextor in that list, I strongly suggest you go with the "Liteon DVD±R/DVD±RW 8xRetail"

I\'ve yet to see any plextor rom in australia. Although i haven\'t looked, my wholesaler doesn\'t sell them.  
Not only that, even if i found one it most likely would be more then 112 usd.

Soul The lite-on is the best bang for buck burner out there.

If Plextor was no longer an option for me, i\'d go Lite-on

If you can\'t get the Plextor 708A (which is a shame!), then I think you should go with the Lite-on.

I know liteon is a good brand, i have their 48246S burner. Which is great, but i also have a pioneer dvd-120 rom. Which is also great. Both good brands.  I\'ll end up most likely getting the liteon burner.


The plextor rom is about 250 - 300 AUD. Thats way to much for a dvd burner.. Like i said, i want a rom under 160 woodchips.

After some research the Liteon DVD±R/DVD±RW 8xRetail (SOHW-812S) $145.00 is faster then the highlighted one.. it has 4x RW speed and 8xR speed rather then 2xRW and 4xR with the LDW-851S one but has a slower access time for normal CDR.

So i\'ll get the SOHW-812S one.. same price but faster. :)
