OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Sony and NEC have combined their optical expertise in the joint venture, Optiarc. The result is the Optiarc DVD and CD drive series.

With write speeds as high as 24X for DVD+R and DVD-R, they may be the fastest SATA optical drives in the industry. Even at these speeds, there's no need to worry about buffer under-runs, with 2MB of memory buffering your data. Optiarc's technology adjusts itself automatically to the small variations in each drive and each disc as it writes, giving optimum performance time after time. All the features you've come to expect in a modern DVD/CD burner: multiple media formats, inexpensive price, fast operation, and now backed by both Sony and NEC.

It's always your decision, but I wish I had a dead drive right now so I could replace it with one of these.

Genuine NEC Optiarc

white Reviewed By: Moo on 4/1/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a real NEC chipset drive unlike the 7220, which was a liteon oem. It also uses a chipset that is 90nm instead of 150nm and uses about half the power on the chipset. From what's known so far, this is a very good burning drive that even does pretty good quality 24x burns.
Cons: Nec drives don't necessarily have the best error correcting when reading.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy install. Very fast. Plugged right in and I hit the ground running. Purchased for my first cpu build. Im coming from a 16x DVD drive that would take 6 minutes to burn 4.5gigs of a movie. Now with this drive im burning things in less that half of that time.
Cons: Nothing at all.
Other Thoughts: Great buy. To the guy that below me, this is an OEM drive! That means you get no fancy cables or colorful instructions. So dont dock an egg if you dont understand what your buying. But hey their your eggs, you can do what you want with them.

Other Thoughts: I wanted a decent drive with an NEC chip since it has pretty good quality burns with verbatim and Taiyo Yuden media.
If it lasts 5yrs without issues, maybe I will give it 5 eggs.
