I will try to help here, even this subject is rather complicated...

Reading several other threads/using the search function may help you since you will read the answers that many other people got for the same question you had.

I would avoid buying the PX-712A since already PX-716A will hit the market at 1+ month, as for a cheap solution, NEC 3500A is a good choice

If you need the drive to be good in both reading /writing then I would suggest an LG, 4120 or 4160.
