Pros: This drive installs easy and is very fast. It allows booting from a DVD (for installing a fresh copy of an OS).
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Buying this drive alone does not allow playing of Blu-ray commercial movies. You also need a HDCP video card AND monitor. Also need software to play the movies.

Pros: Blu Ray Burner everything else burner price compatability
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: I got this burner for recording onto blu ray all the HD video I shoot with my camcorder, and for recorded shows off my HTPC. So far, so good. Updated to the latest BIOS, running in Vista 64bit, and using Nero as well as imgburn, using ridata disks from newegg (part N82E16817132062), I have yet to burn a coaster. I only have a couple of other players to check with, either this burner, an LG Blu Ray player in my HTPC and a PS3. But the disks play in all three just fine. Now if the prices for the disks would drop, life would be much better

Great Drive

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great fast drive. Have made no coasters at all burning to DVD, dual layer DVD, or Blu-ray (the majority have been Blu-ray backups). Really couldn't ask for more, especially considering the price
Cons: Only con is that it about an inch longer than my other drives, so I did have to do a little re-wiring to make it fit properly.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It really works great. I run my own HD video production company, and it has yet to give me any troubles at all, and for the price, it cannot be beat. Just be sure that the BRD's you purchase are compatible with the burner. The more you know...
Cons: The only one I had was mine came with no drivers or software for actual viewing of HD DVD's or BRD's... but that's easily fixable with a quick web search.
Other Thoughts: Worth the money, even for a professional.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Does the job it is supposed to do. Burned some 20 BD-R discs from two different brands and a bunch of DVD+R discs so far and no coasters even when I accidentaly unrared a 4.5 GB file while burning a BD-R disc. It just slowed down and finished the job. Reading all my old DVDs and CDs without a problem.
Cons: It takes two minutes longer to burn the same SONY DVD+R media than with my old Toshiba DVD burner although burning software reports both burners are burning @ 16X

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Not too loud, decent speed, works. Completely quiet at video playback speeds.
Cons: Worst issue is that NewEgg has trouble understanding the difference between an "OEM" product and a "we kept everything but the drive" product. OEM products aren't inherently devoid of features like cables, manuals, and software. But I see from the other reviews that I'm not the only one who was sent a drive without all the stuff shown in the photos.
Other Thoughts: Fortunately, I did get sent the software and manual up-front. It took a lot of complaining and back and forth, but I finally got NewEgg to send the cable and power adapter they promised in the photos as well (ironically, I'm sure that NewEgg spent more on the arguing than they did on shipping the missing parts).
I don't know why NewEgg is so "Jekyll and Hyde" when it comes to customer service -- seems like occasionally I get someone who wants to bend over backwards to help, and other times (like this) it's the classic tech customer support run-around -- but if you don't get everything you paid for, be sure to stand up for your rights.
