I'm looking for a DVD drive in my 1-bay barebone system. I like my Lite-On LTD-163 but I'm wondering if a combo drive would be a better choice. The added ability to write the occasional CD without having to connect an external drive would be nice

What I'd like to know is how these combo drives (like the LG GCC-4320B or the new 48xSamsung) compare to the Lite-On when it comes to DVD reading and ripping. I don't want to sit around for an hour to rip a dvd.
