Looking into buying a Lightscribe DVD burner - suggestions? - Jerry® - 09-26-2006
I've been looking at this:

I'm relatively new to the whole Lightscribe thing - so any advice, experience, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

how much do lightscribe discs cost?

you can get cheaper LS drives that aren't from Lacie, but they don't come with the labeling software...

I did an unofficial review of a particular model a while back:

Still using it; very happy with it both in terms of burning and labeling.
[EDIT]: That's the exact model I have. Zero complaints. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm thinking of the same thing Jerry, only I already have an external enclosure and I want to get rid of the old NEC drive that's in it and get a lightscribe enabled bare drive for replacement.
They appear to be under $35 at newegg:

If you buy a LightScribe drive from any one other than Lacie you will have to pay seperatly for the Mac compatible software, either Lacies or from http://smileonmymac.com/disclabel/index.html
