what kind of dvd-rom should I get?

[vishalsisodiya]

I wanna start backing up my dvd's, what make and model should I be looking for? speed too? like say I get a 16x dvdrom, does it rip twice as fast as a 8x would?
Please help me out, i wanna start backing up asap....

p.s.
I wanna spend the least amount of money I can.

I'd recommand a Pioneer DVD model, a 10x or a 16x, just get yourself a nice Pioneer, those are among the best (and cheapest!) DVD-ROM drives for the PC, of course, this is my opinion, and experience only.

or if you're like me and don't want to spend any more money on the computer... go to circuit city and get the delta 12x ide dvd-rom drive. $40-$20 mailin-rebate = 20 chalupas

i also got a delta dvd drive. good thing.

if you cant buy any of the above (that is includeing msgs before me) i just recommend getting the cheapest around there; it mostly works without any problem

I second the Pioneers. I just got a Pioneer 106s. So far, love it!

I'd also like to comment that the 16x Pioneer is not all that expensive, you can propably find it for 64$ and maybe even 54$ now days, just check PriceWatch for Pioneer 106S or 116 DVD drives.
