minute job but for possible future use.

I thought I remembered LiteOn being "second tier".  Do you have personal
experience with LiteOn?  I know they're usually very price-competitive.

Here's a list/price comparison:

and Samsung units.

good and easily fit your budget.

Wow.  Apparently I haven't been paying attention to these in awhile.  dual

Thanks,
