The manufacturer makes me cringe lol.

I'd go for something like this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-152-022&depa=1
It's the same one that i have and i love it. excellent price too.

...thats my 2 cents ;)

I have the same drive as StinkyMojo and I agree, it's a good buy. Very good drive for cheap. :)

here are some firmwares for the 2500A

2500A doesnt guarantee Dual Layer though even it has the same hardware as the 2510A

cause 2510A gets their high quality laser and PUH "hand picked"...

Nero Burning Rom Ultra is a great software for almost all tasks that have to do with the burner
