Excellent Product --- Excellent Company

white Reviewed By: Stingray on 3/4/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is a CD/DVD reader/player only. I have purchased multiple Asus optical drives, including those that only READ discs. This one performs well.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Some people simply should not purchase computer parts to perform their own upgrades as they do not understand the most basic attributes of the products that they are attempting to upgrade/add/repair. For heaven's sake, this is a reader only and it is clearly advertised as such. Just how moronic do you have to be to give a product 1 star because YOU cannot read?

Great DVD-ROM drive

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Does what it is supposed to do at good speeds. Quiet!
Cons: Make sure not to use a Molex to SATA power cable. Doesn't want to work with my Molex to 2 SATA power adapters (That came with my ASUS motherboard)... But my HDDs don't mind them so its all good.
Other Thoughts: READ CONS.. SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME.

Boo - limited DVD movie read speed!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It's a CD/DVD ROM, and it seems to read them.
Cons: Cannot read DVD movies (even legitimate ones) beyond roughly 4X. Apparently this is a "feature" to discourage copyright violation.

This may, or may not, make this drive a completely useless brick for you.
Other Thoughts: I had no idea this even existed. Apparently there are other drives where it is not a problem.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Title pretty much says it all.
Cons: It's a little noisy when installing games or transferring a lot of data, but I've never seen a DVD player that isn't. Speed makes up for it in a big way, installed windows vista in the time it took me to make pasta i was expecting it to take about an hour and was very pleased.
Other Thoughts: The two fronts i guess are a plus for some people but i just threw the other one in the box and put it in my closet, no idea how changing those goes.
