Which one to buy LITEON/SAMSUNG

[music_lover]

hi there
well iam from india
i subscriber of a technology magazine called DIGIT
now they are giving the readers a DVD DRIVE offer
they will be giving us the folowing drives at a discounted rate
i.e

LITEON XJ-HD166S for Rs. 1350 i.e 30$
and
SAMSUNG SD-616E for Rs 1400 i.e 31$
now the price is not at all the factor

well my question is
which one in your view would be a good drive ?
my usage would be to watch movies and use it as a normal Drive
and would be also venturing into ripping movies cause i have a CD writer
another fact is that the liteon drive sipports Dual Format DVD's while the samsung doesnt
is this format Necessary
so please do help
thanks in advance

Definately not the Samsung!

I haven't used the 166, but the Lite-On 167 is great. I'd highly recomend that you get the 166.

Hi Atul.

Mostly everybody here will say yes to the Lite-On.

Hello!

I´m really not a Liteon-Fan, but the Lite is definitive the better and faster drive (except with CD-RW, max. Speed 24x). If you don´t care about a noisy drive, get the Lite.

I´m really not a Liteon-Fan...

Neither am I, and I have the title to show it!
