3 out of 5 eggsLicense restriction for CD-R

Pros: Worked as a reading device out of the box. It is light and handy when using USB power.

Cons: I got this for a Thinkpad R51 with XP because the internal drive was flaky when writing CDs. So far, I could not make the new drive write anything to a CD-R (Verbatim with LightScribe, Newegg N82E16817130985). The disk is recognized correctly as blank CD-R, but the response to any attempt to write to it, format it, or whatever is always "Operation not allowed on CD-R media (license restriction)". That makes the drive useless to me. I still give it points, since I cannot prove that the drive is at fault, but both, Verbatim and Liteon tech support are utterly unhelpful.

3 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Slim and easy to transport.

Cons: A little noisy. Kinda klunky sounding.

Other Thoughts: No way to tell which USB connector is power and which is data. Bundled with Nero 7, which would not install. I don't have time for software that doesn't work! Have others that do! Install of Norton 360 Premier went just fine!

5 out of 5 eggsgreat burner

Pros: easy to set up and use and the software that came with it was also easy to use for the lightscribe feature

Cons: cables could of been longer and when burning a photo image it took 30 minutes rather than the 20 the timer stated.

Other Thoughts: setup and use were easy and the quality was excellant. when the need arises I will purchase this product again

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Drive

Pros: Outstanding drive. Recognized instantly by Windows XP on my mini-PC. Plays movies, loads software, does exactly what you expect of it. Required only one USB port for power and data.

Cons: Haven't really thought of any yet.

Other Thoughts: Good drive for excellent price. Newegg, of course, rocks!

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: I ordered this stricktly for the lightscribe and have not been disappointed. The lightscribe program has more templates than the roxio, but have printed through the roxio program.
because it gives me more options that I want. I would definitely order this again.

Cons: Don't know of any now

1 out of 5 eggsWIndows 7 does now boot

Pros: Plays DVD on WIndows XP ok.

Cons: Lots of problems booting installation discs from this drive. After long fight with BIOS seeting I was finally able to boot Windows 7 RC but then it asked for drivers... No drivers for Windows 7 anywhere on the LIT|EON site. I am tired and disappointed...

1 out of 5 eggsstarted out great

Pros: work a couple of times

Cons: purchased this product primarily for my wifes eee 1000ha it worked great the first two times we used it. once to watch a movie and once to rip a cd. after that we placed it in a drawer out of the way and didn't have a need for it until about a month ago. now the drive will not power up or auto recognize and lite on has been far less than helpful with resolving the issue.
