Both suck. Buy Hewlett-Packard 9100 series writers, they rock.

Not sure about either of those. I am using a Buslink (inexpensive, but works well). I have read in a lot of magazines reviewers raving about Plextor CD-RWs.

HP blows....you wants something that Rocks?? Go with Yamaha, Plextor, or Rioch. Very nice drives.

ASUS isn't excatly the greatest brand of CD-RW either, but I've heard nothing bad about either. I think you could accept a little bad rep in case of $200!!

Are those American Dollars? Or NZ? If they are American....your getting ripped, because we picked one up for work at Circut City for $129. It was 24x10x40x.

a warning though: yeah Plextor is the cd writers roll royce BUT (and there is a but). CD burnt using plextor can't be read using Teac cd drive and the opposite is also true. Weird isn't it? Maybe there's a secret war between those 2 manufacturers

I have a Plextor, it was a bit expensive but it works perfectly, it has yet to screw up a CD (and believe me, it's a true miracle the computer or any component works fine with me....)
I can recommend buying a Plextor to anyone (I don't have Plextor-shares!!!! )
