Another Great LG Drive

white Reviewed By: DMA on 12/29/2005
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Price
Speed
Reliability
Quiet operation
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I have purchased so many LG drives (both ROMs and burners) that I've lost count. They are speedy, reliable, quiet, and very cost-effective. Whenever I need a new optical drive, it'll be an LG, and it'll be from Newegg!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good drive.Great price. Does what its supposed to do and does it well. This particular brand seems to have a good life span from what I've experienced with my own drives of this brand and other reviews.
Cons: Not the quietest drive out there.
Other Thoughts: If you're going to be watching DVDs on your PC with the volume low i'd recommend getting a drive thats a bit more quiet. I will most likely buy this brand again in the future due to the good quality and great price.
