Works like a charm

Produced great DVD's from the first try. Have not had a bad burn and I burn alot!! This truly is a quality product at a price you can't afford to pass-up.

Can't seem to find any fault. It installed quickly and keeps on producing.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
It's not your father's plextor

The late version of Roxio software, the $30 rebate, and the fact that the drive works. The drive is black and the alternate face plate is white instead of vice versa.

Way, way too much noise when spinning. It reduces enjoyment of CD and DVD performances substantially.

Note that this drive does not accept firmware updates as older plextor drives did. (That means no tuning to new dvd/cd media releases.) The noise is mechanical and I can find no way to dampen it. My case is a Lian Li so I don't think that is the problem.
