Anyone know a good cheap 16x DVD drive that is also at least a regular 48x drive? I wanted to get a DVD for my comp, but I would have to sacrifice either the burner or the regular cd drive, I'd rather sacrifice the reg one. Kind of looking for something in the $40 range... any suggestions?

I'd get a Toshiba 16x dvd drive. Quiet and reliable. I'm pretty sure ALL 16x dvd drives have a max of 40x for cd reading.

source189, Welcome to sharky forums, I checked newegg.com and they have some DVD drives that are also a regular 48X drive and Flexo they are in your price range.

check out ussa.com for dvd-roms, cd-roms, and floppy's for prices.

That's the direct link for their inventory of DVD-ROM drives. Since all are relatively the same price just choose a brand you can trust. Such as toshiba/sony/pioneer/samsung.

I just bought an Artec Drive for only $32 w/free shipping @ Newegg. It got great reviews and is supposedly a rebadged Sony.
