  1. I need help choosing a 18x internal DVD burner for my quiet PC.

    These are what I want:
    - quiet
    - reliable (low error rate, less chance of creating a coaster)
    - performance (speed)
    - compatibility with different media
    - region-free or exists a region-free firmware for it
    - inexpensive
    - preferrably brand name

    Any recommendation for a model or brand in general?

    Thanks.

    LG-H42N

    The LG-H10N drives are quiet and can be crosslfashed to the H12N firmware then it will be able to burn dvd discs at 18x speed.

    LITEON has 18x and 20x dvd burners. I have the LITEON 18x dvd burner that sounds like a airplane taking off. I've read on the LITEON forum that some 18x drives are noisy and others aren't. I think it's the luck of the draw but I bought my drive for $30.00 bucks and crossflashed it to the BENQ 1800 drive.

    I'd recommend a BENQ 1800 but it's not going to released in the USA.

    So your LITEON 18x dvd burner suddenly became quiet after you flashed it to BENQ 1800

    Hell no it still sounds like a airplane is taking off!!! Nope the drive is still loud even after crossflashing it to the BENQ 1800 firmware. At the moment I have it flashed back to the LITEON firmware using C0deKing's fast patch & it's still loud.

    Get the LG if you want a quiet drive.
