This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Excellent drives. Im using two of them on two different computers and both like the drives. No coasters, just make sure you get compatible media for them. If you get some weird DVD brand that sucks you will get coasters like crazy...so watch out.
Cons: None.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Comes with Nero and Power DVD.
Easy to install. Great Price!!
Cons: Mine has been flawless. Burned over 10 DVD's NO COASTERS.
Other Thoughts: I also have a Lite-On Cd burner that has never failed in over 2 years of use, that is why I purchased the same brand for DVD burning. Just buy it you will not be disappointed!!
