Choosing a DVD-RW drive for your personal computer is not so easy: its cost and manufacturer in this case will not be the determining criteria. And first of all, your choice will depend on the purpose for which you are buying the drive.
Instructions
Step 1
If reliability and durability are your main criteria - don't hesitate to take a DVD-RW drive made by NEC. The drives manufactured by this company are the most durable and at the same time do not belong to the category of "expensive".
DVD-RW drives manufactured by SONY, Lite-On and ASUS are also famous for their reliability.
Step 2
In terms of the number of readable formats, as well as reading damaged discs, ASUS DVD-RW drives are in the lead: choosing a drive from this manufacturer, you can be sure that the chances of reading even the most scratched and worn disc will increase significantly.
Step 3
Lowest noise level for LG and Pioneer drives. Also DVD-RW of these companies are distinguished by good read and write speed. However, according to research, some LG drives are not durable: there is a possibility that your drive will break immediately after the end of the warranty period.
Step 4
Recording speed and quality are the best in Plextor, SONY, Toshiba and Nec drives. For example, Plextor drives, in order to achieve the highest recording quality, each time they burn a disc, they select their own strategy of recording, adjusting "to the disc", and before starting work they check the quality of blank discs. But if you are primarily interested in reading, then it is better not to buy Nec DVD-RW drives (this is not their "strong point").
