DVD ROM drive

[ghanson]

I'm about to purchase a new mac Mini, but want to be able to burn CDs/DVDs to it. The machine will be primarily a music server.

I would like to get a DVD reader/writer. Any recommendations?

I use this drive from LaCie.

It works well, burns Lightscribe, and comes with a copy of Toast 9. You really can't go wrong. It also matches up nicely with the Mac mini.

The drive from Apple is another option, but it's more expensive and does less. It probably looks better with the Mac mini though.
