The Bottom Line	The Plextor PX-740UF is a sturdy drive that performs beautifully, but it's expensive.	This Plextor is a fast and versatile internal drive supporting single/dual-layer DVD media--one of the best on the market today.	The Plextor PX-810SA internal CD/DVD burner is quick for both ripping and burning. We like it.	Due to its small form factor, the LaCie Slim DVD+/-RW with LightScribe burner is a good choice for those who need a burner while traveling; however, its audience is limited to Windows users.
