works as intended and quiet

white Reviewed By: Rachel on 3/27/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: silver color matches my case, reads & writes both CDs & DVDs, comes with Nero software, Lightscribe support, works in Linux out of the box, my BIOS recognizes it as a bootable drive
Cons: had to reboot after Windows XP installed the drivers, in order for auto-run to work from a disk burned with an ISO image - everything else appeared to work without a reboot
Other Thoughts: haven't tried Lightscribe yet, overall, a great device, and overall, much quieter than my former CD-RW drive
