OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
The Lite-On 20X Super Allwrite IDE drive writes 4.7GB of data in about 5 and a half minutes to DVD+R, and supports all DVD formats. Intelligent features like a 2 MB cache and Smart-Burn buffer under-run protection to ensure that you get accurate, working copies every time, instead of wasting disc blanks on failed write attempts. In dual-layer format, you'll be able to store 8.5 GB of data, photos, music, or games on one dual-layer disc.

Playback is just as reliable with Smart-X technology for smooth, stable Audio CD, VCD, and DVD playback; and high-performance DAE, VCD, and DVD data extraction.
The drive connects via IDE, and supports Windows 98 SE, 2000, ME, XP, 2003 and Vista. This economical drive is a smart upgrade for your older computer!

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price, Windows XP recognized the drive on initial boot and it worked. Ordered it Wednesday morning and received it on Friday (good job Newegg)
Cons: Lite-On web support is poor - FAQ section has little on DVD burners (mostly CD burners) and if you have a problem "send us an email and we will reply in 2-3 days". No manual to download for this product, only a driver if you need it and a couple utilities.
Other Thoughts: Its OEM so all you get is the burner. It came in a shipping box wrapped in bubble wrap, not even any mounting screws. Not a problem to me but just to let you know.

I burned 24 DVDs so far with this device, all 4.2 to 4.699 GB. Three disks wouldn't burn because of "media error", one burned 40% the other two burned 90% before being rejected. Two indicated successful burn but couldn't be read after burn completed.

My first experience with DVD burner so don't know how this compares to other units, 20% failure rate seems high though. Have had a Lite-On CD burner for about 3 years and it never fails unless I try to write to a badly scratched CD. Its the reason I bought the Lite-On DVD burner.

Pros: For the price, it's awesome. Reads pretty fast.
Cons: Kind of noisy, but only when a disc is being read. Not distracting, but louder than some drives.
Other Thoughts: Good buy!
