5 out of 5 eggsDoes the job.

Pros: Plugged right in, fired right up.

Cons: Nothing. LITE-ON drives have been a staple on my PC builds for years, never had a DOA from them yet.

Other Thoughts: Transfer speeds on optical media as compared to SATA HDD's and SSD HDD's are finally starting to show real age. I installed Windows 7 in less than 12 minutes with a Core i5 Quad proc, and 64GB SSD, but the DVD Drive was clearly the bottleneck during installation. It can't be helped: the drive works perfectly and compared to prior DVD/CD Burners it keeps pace or outruns old drives I used to have. It's just not as fast as newer technology.

5 out of 5 eggsPerfect

Pros: Easy to install
Sata
Comes complete

Cons: Ditch the Nero 9 Essentials software that comes with it.

Other Thoughts: Excellent drive and a great buy. Lightscribe works flawlessly. It took less than 14 min to burn the fully photo-covered CDR label with quality set to 'highest.' Highly recommend. These guys really know what they are doing.

Don't bother installing the Nero 9 Essentials software that comes with it. Win 7 has most of the writing programs you need and with d/ling a few free utilities, you can keep your PC running fast.

3 out of 5 eggsNoisey

Pros: It does everything the description said it would. It may even be a little faster than advertised for DVD +RW burning.

Cons: When a disc is spinning it is pretty loud. You may not notice it in a rig that makes a lot of noise though. My box is whisper quiet though so it really stands out.
