Decent drive

Potential to burn very fast (I only have 8x media). Fast read speeds too. Cheap!

Seems to take a while to spin up a disk. (hence the 1 star deduction) I'm used to an NEC that spins up as soon as you insert the disk. This model seems to take up to 10 secs to even spin the disk up. Maybe its a LiteON thing?

Very nice drive. Quiet, fast, and seemingly reliable so far. This one seems to read disks that my old NEC had a difficult time with.
