I think LG drives are well rated at the moment. Pioneer have generally

NECs? My first drive was NEC, and it was the most reliable, but a bit
slow by today's standards. That's the brand I would/will buy from now
on.

Optiarc seems to be a collaboration between Sony and NEC. Scan have one
for £17.32 inc VAT.

I've not had a good experience with Sony drives in general (including a
DVD writer which I had to return because most of the discs I burnt with
it wouldn't read back), so I hope it's more NEC than Sony.
