That's a pretty good deal. I got one of these a couple of weeks ago and it's very good and miles better then the Pioneer I first got and that got sent back as faulty.

A very good quality drive. Shame I paid £34.99 for mine, but well worth it even at that price.

I got the 4163 last year, never had a roblem at all. I paid about £35 as well. The price is exceptional, especially as you can have either colour for the price.

Good spot. Black one still good value though.

This is surely the cheapest DVD dual layer writer around at £19.99.

Except the Philips doesn't support DVD-Ram, which is useful if you've got a Panasonic DVD Recorder (or other DVD-Ram based one).

The SVP one is very good for the price though if you don't need the RAM support (especially with the buyers club £3 off for a spend of £30 until Friday Mid-day)

i suggest..go with NEC 4550 or 4570 slightly more but better in the long run...

Cheers for that - Got one of these at work and its a cracking piece of kit. Its as good as anything else out there with the added bonus of doing RAM disks (got a Panasonic DVD recorder at home so v useful).
