Pros: The drive works really well. It has given me no coasters so far. It even burns more then the max 16x listed on the DVDs. It even burns on my cheap Dynex CD/DVDs with full write speed of 16x or higher.

Cons: The drive is twice as loud as my Sony. It sounds like it about to take off and fly. I mean I can hear this over my 4 fans running at full speed on my Antec 900 Case.

Overall Review: It's still a good drive for the money. If having a quite drive is what you want then I recommend getting something else.

Pros: It was 64bit win 7 compatible

Cons: It had timing issues, even with adjusting the timing it still didn't work properly for all my applications.
