Optical Drives (CD and DVD Burners, etc.) Forum | Forum profile

Can you guys recommend a good (SATA) drive for audio extraction? I am using Exact Audio Copy and looking for accuracy above anything else. The drives I'm looking at are Samsung SH-203 (when I can actually find one, they seem hard to find now) and Pioneer's DVR-216, however, I'm really not sure if one is better than the other, or if either drive has any particular weaknesses. I'd love some advice...
