Please, does anybody know of a DVD drive manufacturer who DOESN'T use the Tsst Corp CDDVDW SH-S233C chassis in their dual layer capable internal SATA DVD drives?

The chassis mentioned above is to be found in Toshiba, Samsung and several 'no name' brands and is, to be frank, dia - bl00dy - bolical :evil:

I am going to have to replace my DVD drives again and I really don't wnat to install new ones only to find that they are the same chassis.

Thanks

I am sure my Pioneer drive isn't will take a look and let you know unless I can find it on their site.
Been fitted for sometime now.

One is a: Sony Optiarc DRU-870S 24x DVDÃ‚Â±RW SATA ReWriter
Other is a: Pioneer DVR-S18L 22x DVDÃ‚Â±RW SATA Labelflash ReWriter

The Sony Optiarc is a known good chassis with an excellent reputation John, according to the research I've done this afternoon and evening

I've tracked down and ordered a couple at a reasonable price

Thanks for your help

After all that, it wasn't my DVDRW drives, it was my PC

Oh well, anybody want a brace of SATA dual layer black bezel internal DVDRW drives?

They only cost me Ã‚Â£30 John, so not as bad as might have been.
