I have an old Pioneer Single Layer (A06) and an external LG Dual Layer burners. LG is quite good - I was going to buy Sony/Pioneer but the guy said that LG is quite good and far cheaper.

I prefer an external (USB) burner because I can take it along on my tours.

Have not heard of AZUS.

BTW, Sony, Pioneer, etc. are just brands and both companies DO NOT manufacture the devices. They are made by some other companies and sold as OEM products to Sony/Pioneer. But, when you buy Sony or Pioneer, you are assured of stringent quality checks.

So another brand is just as likely to be as good.

he means ASUS.its slower.my suggestion is SONY DRU-190A(normal interface) or SONY DRU-845S(SATA interface).SATA is better as it is future proof because in coming months only SATA interface will remain on motherboards while normal/PATA interface is being phased out.

@spark, what you say is right. But at the moment BD burner is an overkill. Here is why:

a) The BD write speeds are a tad low
b) DVD-DL write speeds are very slow; same is true for DVD±RW, DVD±R, etc.
c) BD media are very costly - one is unlikely to buy them in the near future (1+ years). Hence why buy an equipment that will not be used for its primary use?
d) In 1+ years, the same writer will be costing $150 or less.

Hence my suggestion is to wait.
