Yeah but in the absence of BEnQ's now, the only choice is the lite-on 201A, if you want scanning too. Otherwise i'm sure the LG suggested is a good unit.

Ideally it would be the lite-on 165 series, but i think those too are sold out.

Unless you can afford to wait, something better might come out.

I started a thread on the sony-dru170c here, You may want to follow it up.

You have used lightscribe memories_dv ?

What is ur opion ?..i was told they were fine with simple text, try anything more complex like photos (gasp) and the results might not be to your liking.

^^ I think memories_dv said 2.3K for the BenQ 1655

Lightscribe disks easily available, atleast in NP..Last i checked : Rs. 390 for a 10-pack cakebox of Verbatim Lightscribe 16X DVD+R..

The benq 1655 (Rs.2.3k) is (un)arguably the best drive available. Ive used lightscribe on a cd-r...it looks pretty good if you use the contrast utility to set high contrast. You will notice threads on cdfreaks too, about the 1650/1655s running out and people scrambling to find old stock somewhere!

Get the BenQ DW1650/1655 if possible, otherwise settle for the LiteOn LH-20A1P - I had trouble with the LG H42N and I know a couple more people with similar issues, but there are many still happy with the H42N.
