5 out of 5 eggsIt works

Pros: Just plug it in and it gets recognised in Win 7.

Cons: Seems to prefer an eject command from the computer but that isn't hard to do.

Other Thoughts: Lite-On make most DVD drives these days and their own labelled ones seem to be the most up to date for software compatibility.

Being able to create archival Dvds is a nice bonus.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat product

Pros: Great size, quiet operation, no driver or setup needed (cannot speak for MAC), excellent quality burns meaning excellent burn quality test results, highly compatible.

Cons: A bit 'cheap' in solid construction, but this is a sacrifice on the small size. Get a full sized drive and enclosure with much larger size and problem solved.

Other Thoughts: There is absolutely nothing wrong with this drive. The software disc is a trial, not a driver disc. It says this on the CD. Don't want it, don't install it. There is nothing wrong with including a trial, it is the owners choice to use or not.

The cable is short, yes, for a reason. Cheap cables do not work and although they work on some units, performance is often reduced from them. I replaced my cable before the first use of this drive and have used the replacement cable ever since. Never had a problem, bad read or bad burn from it. The cable is not integrated, which is not a negative. If it has a 1ft cable and you need 2, integrated means adapters. Non-integrated, you can use the right cable which is a much better option.

This drive uses the USB cable for BOTH data transfer and power. Some drives use 2 cables for this, one for each. Users must keep this in mind and understand what they are using.

All that said, I have used this product for about 8 months now with semi-professional usage/load and have yet to have an issue.
