LG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 22X DVD-R 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model GH22NS50 - OEM

Pros: Installed with no issues, burned several dvds and cds with no coasters. SATA drive.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Some people have complained about the bluebird adware popping up each time the drive door is closed which would be very annoying to deal with for sure but there is a firmware update that removes it.

I am not sure if the drive I received has the new version of the firmware or not but my 1st door closing opened up a EULA agreement which gave me the option to decline and to further select to NEVER remind which I selected and after several "empty" door closings, nothing has popped up since.

Pros: None.

Cons: This burner has some type of virtual software built into the drive called "Bluebirds". Bluebirds is advertisement linked to the LG website to get you to buy more LG products. If you choose not to install the software you will be prompted to install it every time you close the drive door. If you install it you get the tray icons pointing to more LG products. If you remove it from the startup it adds itself back to the startup every time you close the drive door.

Overall Review: You have been WARNED! Newegg took the drives back hassle free, their still the best.
