Anyone have suggestions for a Cd-R/W Drive? I have an HP CD-RW drive now and I'm pretty happy with it, but I want better drive for my new system...I need suggestions!

Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?
This question comes up a lot, search the archives. I vote for a Plextor Drive though.
Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.
Plextor rocks.. they get my vote too. Have them in two of my machines right now, and they are head and shoulders above anyone else as far as build quality is concerned.
Definitely Plextor. Fast and reliable drives. Well, the first Plextor I got died in a week, but the second one has been rock solid ever since the day I got it. It has never given me any problems.
Oh dear, Mitsumi....
I had two Mitsumi CD-Rom drives die early on me (only CD-ROM, can't really speak for CD-R / RW). They were cheap but I kind of like hardware that actually works for more than half a year. BTW, this was the ONLY piece of hardware that died early on me since I can remember - everything else works O.K until now, even my old Celly300A@450 or ALL my old Amiga parts.
NEVER got any Mitsumi since and never had a real HW problem since....
P.S.: If you want to go the cheap way, get a TEAC. Very reliable (esp. for their price), fast and with BurnProof. If you have the money, get a Plextor though.
The only piece of Hardware that has actually kicked the bucket on me was the LS-120 Drive I had in my computer... it worked for 3 years and then just stopped reading and writing.
Oh I also just remembered... a keyboard destroyed by mountain dew... I shoulda sued their ass...

What about a Teac drive? I have seen some of these with really nice prices right about now... are they any good? I have a regular Teac CD-ROM almost for a year now and it refuses to die on me ignoring the constant abuse (like my previous Philips and Samsung drives did) and reads practically anything. Are their CD writers the same?
Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.
