Don't buy a Sony burner.
I can't believe that people, knowing FULL WELL how terrible the lasers in Sony PS2's are, would willingly buy another Sony laser device.
Guess what? The laser in a Sony CD burner or DVD burner is NO BETTER BUILT THAN THE ONE IN THE PS2 THAT DIES WITH REGULAR USE!
Also the Quality Control is horrible. For every happy smiley satisfied Sony customer with a DRU510, you'll find another one who can't make it work at all. My personal Sony success rate (with a dozen drives) is 50%. That's REALLY REALLY LOW.
If you're burning -R, Pioneer is the way to go. If you're burning +R, NEC (or NEC-based) is the way to do.
AVOID dual-media burners, they're pricey and have media issues.
