Hi; I bought all my hardware from newegg.com. I also bought my blank DVD's from them. This is my first DVD burner so I have no experience with media. You can read reviews on the site. I bought: Ritek DVD-R 4.7G 4X 50PACK, Model DRD-47-4X-RDSM, OEM Item# N82E16817132315 The price was $39.99 (a couple of months ago). They work fine.
