OK...... I'm going to disagree with you two on this..... (See, I like causing trouble

)
Me personally, I would get a seperate reader... Here is the reason:
Why put the extra abuse on a $350 dollar burner, when you can put the extra abuse on a $30-40 dollar reader?
The other reason:
When you are ripping things such as dvd movies to your hard drive, a dvd writer is MUCH slower than a dvd reader at this....
And the final reason:
If you spend a little extra money on a GOOD reader, you can copy on the fly with no problem....(Saves ALOT of time).....
OK.... You can YELL at me NOW.....
