Through reviews and my own experiences with an Acer product (Benq = Acer's peripheral line now) they pale in comparison to the quality of other manufacturers. Those reviews on videohelp.com don't look promising either (seems to prefer +R discs). The NEC is almost the same price and I've heard much better things about it in general.

yeh it does prefer +R better, but it doesnt like cheap media which is ok for me. i wouldnt want cheap media anyways cuz itll degrade much faster than a good quality disc, like maxell or even ridata/ritek

I bought a Lie-On 8x which believe it or not has actually worked beautifully for me. I normally stay the hell away from that brand, but after my friend bought one and burned over 100 DVDs without a hitch (almost got cut off from his ISP too ), I was sold on it.

This is the problem....there are so many to choose from nowadays and if u look at the reviews...Every single one of em is performing really well....The only bad reports that i have seen are due to the low quality media that was used during testing....I have heard good things about LiteOn as well and its cheap....

How would one think it would work with an external housing and USB2 / Firewire?

I'd love to get a dual layer DVD-R but has anyone seen the price of media. Last time i checked it was like $45 for 3 DVD-Rs.

Thats crazy.
