I doubt there is much need to be writing CD's at 24x at the moment, and for a good while yet. Would recommend something like the Plextor PlexWriter 16/10/40 as it's a good quality brand, and the speeds are more than quick enough for home use. Uses BURNProof technology...The other two drives are OK, but for long term use the Plextor will be a better bet IMHO.
