Whats the quietest SATA DVD-Burner?

Parker · February 14th, 2008

Like the title says.
Based on experiences you've had with dvd-burners, what would be the quietest one you've used?
I mean, quiet when it's in use.

Post the name and model of the DVD drive and your experience.
Thanks!

I have the Pioneer DVR-2810, and am very happy with it. It's quiet (compared to my old IDE drive at least) and fast.

I have various samsung and sony drives, they all sound about the same.

This unit was a little pricey but has proved a good unit to date.Very fast and quiet.I have had Lite on before and had issues 2x with discs literally exploding into a million pieces inside of them.The unit I have now does anything you could want.Just my $.02

I buy all my dvd drives from microcenter. They are all OEM's and they run ~ 30.00. I dont care about lightscribe, I have a sharpie that can lable them. I dont know if they have OEM drives on the net, I just pop into their store if I need it.

oem drives are available at newegg and ZZF and many other online retailers.

I have used Plextor, Sony, Liteon and all of them are about the same. I'd have to say out of them, the Sony Optiarc is probably the quietest of them all. The Plextor drives are professional grade so they are definitely not quite, then again I have never had one problem with my Plextor drive.
This Sony Optiarc is 30.00.

That's how how my Plextor 716SA is. Like a jet taking off lol.

My NEC Optiarc AD-5200 is really quite loud. Its IDE but im guessing the tech inside is quite similar.
