I need to get a new burner for a duplicator that i have. it only takes IDE no Sata.
What i had in it lasted for years it was two NEC 3550A but sometimes didnt write dual layer discs.
It used to be 3 Burners but 1 died and i replaced it with a Sony AD7200A.
Now i need to get 2 more burners to put into the duplicator and was curious what would be the best option to get. i burn 2000-3000 dvds a year at the least so it needs to be able to handle a lot of work without dying on me.
I dont care if it is a new model or old model as long as i can find it online (ebay or other) for 50$ or less
Needs to write on Sony, Verbatum, TY, or TDK discs (which is all i use)
thanks

	Maybe a Asus like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135250 AFAIK, most all newer burners do DL. Not as much selection for PATA burners at present, so you are mostly limited to LG, LITON, Plextor and Asus, and probably a few others. The Plextor's are a bit more expensive, but no idea if the quality is any better than the rest.

	thanks it doesnt have to be todays model can be old but built like a tank.

	I've got three old LG drives still going strong. 4040B, 4167B and an H58N(not sure if that one is IDE or not).

	out of all of those which is best? i have seen some for sale on ebay.

	They've all been flawless.....the newest one (58N) is a SLOW ripper. It must be rip-locked.

	I have found the most reliable drive to be from Lite-On. New Egg currently has 4 models for under $30.
