- Pros: I installed this drive in my Acer Aspire 1691. Easy install, detected right away. Out performs the original drive. The difference is night and day. The tray bezel lines up perfectly. Quiet operation and I have yet to find a disc it will not read.
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: Windows initially detected the data transfer as PIO not DMA, burns took more than an hour to complete. After removing the primary ide controller from device manager, reboot brought the drive up and it now is set to UDMA 2. Burn full 4.7GB dvd in about 8-9 mins.
Great value.
- Pros: Bought to replace a CD-RW on a 800Mhz Micron Transport GX+. Reads and writes great. Gave new life to an older laptop.
- Cons: Since the BEBN model firmare (SS03) is set to "CSEL/Low", I was unable to boot off media in the drive even though it read and wrote disks fine. The Samsung firmware uploader (sfdnwin.exe) will allow uploading the the SH03 firmare (CSEL High) if run from the command line as "sfdnwin.exe -nocheck".
- Other Thoughts: This took a bit to figure out, so I home this helps saves someone some time. If I had known more about the CSEL settings, I might have looked for another model that worked out of the box. Part of the learning curve of updating older hardware.
