Which is better?

[redwudz]

I don't know which is 'better', but I would lean toward the LG because at least you know who made the DVD burner inside the enclosure. The Memorex/Imation burner could be made by just about any burner manufacturer. But this is just my opinion as I don't have any experience with either unit.

Stand by, though. I'm sure someone here has used one of those units.

LG makes drives, Memorex does not. This means firmware updates willprobably be slower from Memorex.

The specific LG drive you have identifies is new I can't seem to find which chipset it uses. If it is one of their Rennassas chipset models it is likely to be a superior drive, less so if it is Matsushita (Panasonic).
