Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Its a dvd burner with the ability to do Lightscribe. What else could you expect? 20x is a good speed, Havn't tested the 20x yet but I am sure it won't let me down.
Cons: Nothing exept its a OEM. No manuels or nero software or anything. just the drive taped in bubble wrap. When you get it, Make sure you switch the jumper or else its set at Slave.
Other Thoughts: I gave it a 4 becuase its a good regular drive. Theres nothing special that makes you go " OOh that drive is special".

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I bought this with hesitation because I wasn't a LiteOn fan but I couldn't resist the price for the speed .This was the 1st DVD burner I have own and it is silent not noisy like other people have stated.I haven't even done any of the updated with it and XP Pro installed it instantly.I went to Office Depot and bought 100 pack sleeve of DVD-R for $xx and have burned several copies of movies with a few differant burn programs.The burner is fast and all programs showed it burning at 20x .The DVD's play fine in my home dvd player and it look perfect and I am very picky when it comes to quality .That's why I gave it a 5 because the product was great and NEW EGG have to my house in 2 days with free shipping .
Cons: This product has been given a bad rating because people didn't get any software or cables .It's a OEM which come minus those thing for the advance install whom don't need them .That is why it's cheaper.
Other Thoughts: Thanks New EGG !!!!!
YOU ROCK !!!!!!!!!

Pros: Fast burner, does what it's supposed to do.
Cons: Don't expect any bonus software or box with this drive, all that shows up is the drive. But hey, that's clearly laid out.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Performs as expected, but I primarily use it to watch dvd's, not for burning.
Cons: The Nero software that was bundled with the drive, was not Vista compatible.
Other Thoughts: Many reviewers comment on the noise of this drive, but I have not had that problem, at least not with playing dvd's. There is more noise when burning a disc, however.
