I'm looking for a replacement CD/DVD drive for my desktop PC (so
standard height, 5.xxinch)
I'd like to be able to write Dual Layer DVD's, CD-R and CD-RW and also
to play audio CD's.

You'd think that any drive would play audio CD's, but I've seen reviews
of the Sony AWG170A that complain that it won't play audio CDs!
My Plextor PX-708A is starting to fail reading audio CD's, and from new
it locked up my PC for about 30 seconds every time I loaded an audio CD.

Any recommendations?
