Well, I'm ALSO looking for a pretty decent DVD-RW drive to buy and so far I've found newegg.com to be good because I can view what the USERS think about the item not what the manufacter think.

Also, I came across this while googling, the top 5 DVD-RW according to Pcworld.com some of these aren't TOO expensive, if you're ordering online, go to pricewatch.com to get the cheapest price: http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/artic...,123931,00.asp

If all else fails, look for a DVD-RW (AKA DVD burner) and google that model and read all the reviews you can find on this burner to see if it is really what you want, but keep in mind, some of the reviewers might be people who know little or nothing about computers or never tried the product and might say it's bad. So if you only see a couple of negative comments (which I think you will find in all comments for everything and anything) it's alright.
