    I've seen some that require two USB ports. Some do double-layer and some don't. Double-layer supports a DVD format that holds double the data.

    Working in the DVD/BD industry, some of the more notable burners are Plextor, Liteon and BenQ. Many industry copy/analysis programs such as the Eclipse Suites require specific drives. They use primarily Plextor units. I use several Pleaxtor PX760-A units for burning and testing.

    The drives I've seen which require two USB ports, one is used for power, the other data transfer. LaCie is one brand I've seen.

    Personally I'd try to get a Liteon or BenQ and if your never going to burn Dual Layer discs there is no reason to spend extra money on that feature.
