If you are looking for a drive that writes fast to just about any format on the market and also supports Lightscribe media, then the LG GH24LS50 is the drive to get. It supports CD-R media up to 48x, DVD recordables at 24x and even dual-layer DVD+R at a blistering 16x (if you can find compatible media). The only real downside is that the drive does have slightly longer access times compared to some other drives when reading the media but for many people this probably does not matter that much. Priced around $21.
