Watch a movie or back up your data; the choice is yours with Philips' DVD/CDRW combo drive. This economical drive has an SATA interface for high speed data transfer between it and the rest of the computer. This results in better quality burns and less pauses while watching movies.

With write speeds of up to 52X for CD-R and 32X for CD-RW media this drive makes short work of any task you give it. SmartBurn technology avoids buffer underrun errors, automatically adjusting the writing strategy and running OPC to provide the clean burns and greatly reduce the number of wasted discs.

Does not run in Vista

Reviewed By: LAW on 10/23/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: It's SATA

Cons: I have Vista x64 Home Premium gaming machine. I thought I was getting a great deal on this and buy was I wrong. It does not and will not read or write DVD-R's period. I can read dvd movies, and read and write to cd-r's cd-rw's.

Other Thoughts: Do not buy if making a Vista machine. Lite-On told me this drive does not work with Vista and won't.

Very Nice

Reviewed By: MDJ on 9/30/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: The drive works, first and foremost. Plays CD-ROM's, CD's, and so forth with speed. Haven't had one issue with burning. Great price.

Cons: The drive CAN be cause a fair share of noise. DVD's aren't always read with the utmost speed.

Other Thoughts: Its the best drive I've had so far, and the good surely outweighs the bad. Even more so for a budget.

No Firmware / Incorrect Device Recognition

Reviewed By: badrad600 on 8/30/2007

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Looks nice, works alright (mostly).

Cons: Nero (both Nero 6 and Nero 7) recognizes this as a DVD burner, but it's not. What I mean is, this device shows up in Nero as having the option to burn to DVD, when in fact, it cannot. This has caused my computer to freeze up a couple of times. This drive has been out plenty long enough for firmware to be released, but there is no firmware for this model. Lite-On's response to this problem was not helpful. I should have stuck with IDE optical drives. As far as I can tell, SATA has no real benefit for optical drives. I never had a problem with IDE drives.
