5 out of 5 eggsExcellent DVD/RW drive

4 out of 5 eggsGreat drive, a little loud though

Pros: This is a very sturdy, fast working drive. It doesn't feel cheap and I like how it opens and closes with authority as opposed to appearing weak and flimsy.

Cons: When this this is reading alot of data from a disk, when installing games for example, it is very loud. I said to myself "well I guess that is why this drive is so cheap in price while there are other drives out there with the same features but at a $20-$30 premium". You must be paying for quietness. During regular reading, such as playing a music cd or during less intensive parts of installing software, the drive is the same noise level as every other drive I have ever used. If the noise at high load doesn't bother you, then you should get this.

4 out of 5 eggsYay a DVD burner

Pros: Does the job, price

Cons: None except that DVD drives are becoming useless. Not blu-ray but I don't really need it.

Other Thoughts: I was so glad the first time I built a PC that didn't need a floppy drive. When will we get to the point where DVD drives are officially done? Slow, mechanical, with fragile and scratch-prone media.

5 out of 5 eggsGood burner

Pros: -Reliable
-Not as tacky looking as the other drives
-Fast

Cons: -Was noisy at first, then I upgraded to Windows 8 and now it's completely silent. It used to make a very high pitched noise (most likely only kids can hear it) when it would read or write a disc

Other Thoughts: -I've only had one bad burn out of over 100. 99% success rate!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Burner

Pros: Cheap price. Seems pretty solid, speeds are good. Drive Door seems pretty sturdy. Plays DVD movies, and burns DVD data discs perfectly.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Was looking for a dvd burner to replace an older drive where the door wouldn't open anymore, and it was just getting old. For 20 bucks you can't go wrong with this, and it seems like a pretty popular drive.

5 out of 5 eggsIt works

Pros: Black color matched case color perfectly

Not to noisy when it spins up

It's ASUS

Cons: None to think of...

Other Thoughts: Installed this drive into a new PC I built and it just simply works. It's a disc drive so I can say it exactly makes my PC any better but it is quiet and it's ASUS so those two things make life just that much better.
