I need 4 different ones:

1. Best quality reliable DVD recorder for mostly VERBATIM media (DVD+-R,RW,DL)?
burning ~ 500 disks/month

2. Best reader for scratched, old or damaged CD, DVD media

3. Reliable (if possible) DVD recorder for cheap media daily backups

4. Most silent one (with ability to set slow reading speed via firmware like plextors silentmode) for fully passive htpc. Only reading quality is important here.


Price is not important, but less is better
