Needs firmware
- Pros: Great DVD write quality.
- Cons: This drive is a big hassle. Commercial DVD extraction is locked at under ~5x (usually 3-4x). Audio CD extraction is VERY slow and unreliable; basically, there are jitter errors for the first few tracks while the drive is spinning up. It has issues initializing (takes too long, and can really hang on some systems), especially at startup (and it's even worse if you have a disc -- of any type -- in the drive, would you believe).
- Other Thoughts: You do not enter the SATA DVD burner market with such ancient issues related to optical drives in PC's. This drive has been out for at least a couple months now; LG needs to stop being lazy and release new firmware for this thing NOW. It has problems that need addressed. Their support for this drive so far has been unacceptable.
If you had a dedicated ripper and this drive didn't have such ridiculous initialization issues, this would be perfect. If LG does not release new firmware soon, I will have to find a better drive.
HUH
- Pros: Quiet, writes dvd in about 15 minutes. Sata a plus. Comes with sata cable and software.
- Cons: Poorly packaged. Going to have to do an RMA makes little noise when disk spins. Freezes computer some times.
- Other Thoughts: Like I stated above packaged very poorly.

DVD burner, yes
- Pros: Cheap DVD burner. Has a SATA connection and hasn't died. Burns just about everything I throw into it.
- Cons: Bigger cache would be nice, but for the price it is fine.
- Other Thoughts: If you need a dvd burner and want one for cheap that works and wont quit working for you then I would reconmend this product.
Piece of junk
- Pros: cheap...
- Cons: never burned a single CD. could rarely read one. has a difficult time (sometimes) reading DVDs. called manufacturer about a firmware update and there wasnt one when i called. sometimes spins and spins and spins... locking up my computer.
- Other Thoughts: it seems others had some issues as well. maybe its isolated.
oh well... shoulda stuck with LITE-ON
Money well spent
- Pros: I'm very happy with this drive. I needed an SATA DVD burner in black, and H-L Data Storage (LG brand) has served me well in the past, so I went with them again. I've burned several hundred DVDs and CDs with this, including a few DL DVD+RWs, and the only coaster came from a corrupt image.
- Cons: I should have bought two for on-the-fly, disc-to-disc burning! Vibrates a bit more than I'm used to--thankfully, it's in in a sturdy case.
- Other Thoughts: I've had 9 different optical drives over the years, plus this one. 6 still work, 4 of which are H-L Data Storage (Hitachi-LG) and 2 are Pioneer. The 3 dead ones were 1 Verbatim (didn't actually die, just decided to start making only coasters) and 2 Samsungs.
