Re: need a 18X DVD writer that's quiet and reliable
All DVD writers are going to sound like a jet engine winding up, especially when compared to how quiet a "silent PC" runs normally.
The good news is during your typical read usage, most drives (running 1-4X) are pretty quiet. No matter which drive you get, it will make a ton of racket at 16-18X.
As for 18X -- I have the Samsung. It's a nice drive, and matches well with my Shuttle XPC SN85v3. It really only maxes out at 16X -- with 18X DVD-RAM (unavailable in the US, from what I understand) the only media these drives can utilize at this speed.
