hi everyone

I need a quiet dvd rom ,its my top priority ,i will not backup any data nor ill do dae i just want to use it in my living room so noise is my absolute concern.

I already had a very reliable pioneer 115

you can use Nero DriveSpeed to control the drive's reading speed - keep it down to 1x or 2x.

The Toshiba has the better error-correction.

I have an Asus E616P2 and can't even hear it run when using it.

Very quiet. :D
