I recently thought about what the cheapest DVD writer/burner would cost, and I was surprised that it was only $12 USD.
So I picked one up to see if it was any good.
To my surprise, the Yotuo DVD burner, model #SY-IDD020, isn't a bad unit and is on par with the other burners I have in my collection.
UPDATE:
It appears this unit was replaced by the model # SY-IDD023-02. While it's missing some of the feature and it cost about $2 USD more, if the mechanism is as quiet, this might still be a good purchase.
