Cost effecrive . Fits into slot perfectly SATA easy to connect . Reads writes to most disks

VERY QUICK SHIPPING from seller. Seriously. Arrived before NewEgg could track it properly! Generic CD/DVD burner, which is all I wanted for some ancient software I have and for ripping dvd's to my NAS. Hitachi... which, ok, maybe a 'name brand' doesn't mean anything now but still - 'Hitachi'. (Screw LG and their refrigerator box warranty hi-jinks! People DO keep track of being " - rotating-wood-fastener'-ed in one arena and avoid the brand in another.)


Fast, quiet, and inexpensive - can't ask for much more than that.

All functions work as specified. Very Happy Camper.

Plextor writer works great was not in a new box!?


easy to install worked out of the box fast read/write speeds



reads from CDs/DVDs writes to CDs/DVDs



Very nice dvd drive, installed windows 7 onto my new build in about 15 minutes tops. Nero 8 is also a nice little bonus..


Great runs an 3570k on stock after 2 hours of p95 temps never rose above 51c


Works Great No Problems. Very Pleased.

Solved my issues burning DVD+R DL video dvds. I've been transferring old VHS tapes to single-layer discs using older, tried&true Samsung (SH-182D) drives. I needed something more refined for my current run of DL discs- the old Samsungs were great for CD-R & DVD-R, but were only giving me 2x on the +R DLs. Seems to run smooth also. My current run consists of converting MP4 "backups" to MPGs with TMPG; menus & authoring with TMPG DVD, finally setting DL "split point" and burning with IMGBURN.
