or the HI-VAL dual format drive is only 120? any info on this one?
and the MEMOREX one?
i was aiming for the pioneer burner but if this is good quality ill pick it up no
sorry dont know anything about those companies so cant help you there much
hmmm thought memorex only made cd's ??? guess they expanded
I believe that it is a rebadged lite-on, I bought one myself.
I don't know about the brands but did you check the specs like speed?Quote:

Since he was going to purchase on his break the I guess he has already made a decision.
But for all those considering the same options:
The Hi-VAL is obviously a rebadged something but definitely not a rebadged Lite-On. Support and firmware upgrades are non-existent for this product. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot barge pole.
The Memorex is a rebadged Pioneer drive and can actually be converted into an actual Pioneer DVR-106D with a special modofied firmware available on the net. The firmware is also RPC1 making the drive Region Free and 2X DVD-R as well as removing the limited 2X rip speed by implementing the 12X rip.
It will be impossible to flash the drive back to a Memorex drive after this procedure and the warranty will also be voided.
