Yes, the cheaper or older ones: buy drive models made this year from
vendors whose names you recognize. Get something with 8MB of cache by
preference, BurnProof (or some other buffer-underrun
protection)...Plextor, Philips, and Yamaha are good names, NEC and
Lite-On are okay, and watch out for non-names and things like Mitsumi.
