Pros: I've tried several DVD drives for ripping cd's to my server and this is by far the very best sounding one. I've even had the ASUS one reviewer claims is the same. Not so with sound. I use rimhillex to slow it to 4X and freinds easily can tell the improvement in sound quality. I bought another.

Cons: none

Pros: if ti is maintaining a connection, it is fast and able to handle several different computers and printers with ease

Cons: Every day I reset it AT LEAST once. For no known reason after 2 months plus of ownership, this thing drops connections at random. Some of the network may stay connected, it all may go away, who knows when or why?!?!
