The Asus DRW-2014L1T DVD burner gives you 20X speed and impressive features so you get results, not coasters! Asus brings you smooth, reliable performance, every time. FlextraSpeed recognizes your destination media and sets the write speed for best recording quality. Using the drive's 2 MB buffer, FlextraLink prevents buffer under-run, so instead of bad disc "coasters," you get usable media, every time.
The Asus AVRS (Auto Vibration Reducing System) reduces vibration and noise by adjusting the balance of the disc and spindle as it operates, whether the drive is mounted horizontally or vertically. These Asus’ technologies make minimal demand on your system resources so your PC is ready for other work during the recording process. Your time and blank discs are too valuable to waste!
LightScribe technology lets you flex your creative muscles and bid farewell to sticky, messy paper labels! With the included trial of Nero software, you'll find it easy to dress your media in custom artwork, etched directly onto the LightScribe blank. With this Asus SATA drive, you'll get the job done right the first time, every time.

ASUS Aces in my book
- Pros: This is without doubt THE most quality and reliable SATA DVD writers in its class, bar none; ASUS comes up aces with this one.
Not one other drive we have examined has utilized the same solid build thick ribbed press-formed design that this has on the cover housing of the spindle hub,- which affects stability against vibration and wear of the spindle hub ( no sloppiness and give of thin flat metal cover that cause chatter/vibration/premature wear and failure of other DVD writers,- especially those that write at extremely high RPMS necessary for 20X writing).
- Cons: Absolutely none.
- Other Thoughts: As a purchaser and builder for a small outfit building primarily high-end gaming systems, with a priority of highest quality over profitability,- I have to consider not only the initial cost of a product but also the durability/reliability of an item under longterm heavy usage,- i.e., will it require warranty replacement or follow-up tech servicing in the future,- resulting in higher end cost to my business?
Newegg has often, as in this case, been competitive even over my wholesale sources, offering this retail boxed SATA drive for approx equivalent of my OEM purchase cost,- and their processing from ordering to shipment and delivery is often much quicker and easier than reseller/wholesaler transactions. Hard to say no to that.
Great Burner!
- Pros: Great Burner! The lightscribe works great too! No coasters yet.
- Cons: Only a trial version of Nero. I bought retail just to get the software.
- Other Thoughts: Lightscribe takes a while, but I'm sure this is standard among all brands.

Bad Choice for your only drive
- Pros: Burns CDs well. DVDs appear to work. Haven't had a chance to test the Lightscribe as I haven't got my hands on any lightscribe DVDs yet.
- Cons: DOES NOT BOOT FROM CDS OR DVDS! I have tried a number of disks both burned and from factories. It takes forever to get this thing to work properly. I end up having to restart like 10 times before everything I need is loaded. Issues installing Ubuntu 6.04, 710, 8.04, Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista Ultimate, Business, and the Beta of Windows 7.
- Other Thoughts: Suggestion: have a second drive. This drive works well when it has an OS backing it up it just has issues booting (which when building a PC can be problematic). Maybe I got a bad drive but if a DVD drive stops reading a disk halfway through a load on a number of occasions, it cannot be considered a good drive.
woah
- Pros: Love the quality of the lightscribe. Super easy to do, I think anybody could make very professional quality disks with this. Reasonable burn time too.
- Cons: did not come with sata cable, had to unplug one of my other burners and use it till I can buy another cable.
As good as any
- Pros: Good drive, does its job without so much as a hiccup, simple installation.
- Cons: none
