I used to swear by pioneer, well I still like them a lot but from what i've read they used crappy mediatek chipsets since series 1/218 and on and I can't find the 217's or before (i'm using a 212D and still works like a charm)

I've used samsung's and LG's and I don't like them. The ones I've tried are loud and they seem to have a harder time reading older burned discs than the pioneers I've owned. Not to mention the ones that won't read discs anymore, stick their trays out randomly, retract the tray right after ejecting, all in just about half a year.

Any experiences or recommendations? I don't really care for burning speed as I only burn at 4x for DVD and CD, and 2.4x for DVD DL

thnx
