Pros: Great price, Descent reliability , Good brand

Cons: loud when encoding media , low benchmark on drive tests

Other Thoughts: well for 15-18 dollars you can't ask for the world , at these price ranges based on this model being on sale a lot and also having a low regular price, you can't really do much better , i'll continue to buy them

Pros: - works with all supported disk formats
- relatively quick read and write
- my client is saticfied

Cons: n/a

Other Thoughts: Purchased for a clients pc a week ago. Everything is still operational and hes happy

Pros: Cheap and an easy install that did exactly what I needed.

Cons: None

Pros: cheap and works

Cons: that's it

Other Thoughts: I still rip music so i needed one. use it less than 1% of the time but still necessary.

Pros: Newegg's price, service and delivery.
For the money, can't be beat.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Use these in most builds. You have to have one to load a OS. They last on the average of 3 years.

Pros: Works. Does what it says.

Cons: Very loud with a rattle inside. I have never had a drive this loud before.

Pros: it works, its kinda quite... sorta, cheap enough to use as a light duty beverage holder and not care if it breaks

Cons: unpacked drive, mine had a little scratch on the front. I was a little disappointed when it first got here and I realized it was a bare drive and not a bear drive..... I had a whole forest mod theme for my case done figuring I was about to receive a 700 lb wild animal that could transfer digital data on and off of a physical format, bummer

Other Thoughts: bare drive leaves far less excrement inside my case than a bear drive.

Pros: Does what i says

Cons: Hate the labeling on the front of the disc tray...just like every other drive a sharpie will fix it

Other Thoughts: Cheap, easy, works well

Pros: Works perfectly well, any noise when reading a disk is quieter then case fans. Works for windows 7.

Cons: Not a blu-ray (obviously)

Other Thoughts: Works well for what you pay for no real cons yet.

Pros: Cheap, basic, did I mention cheap?

Cons: Not quite is nice as the Lite-on but also cheaper.

Other Thoughts: Does not come with Sata cables or power adapters, no biggie for me but if you need those parts don't forget to order them or go with a retail box.
