Most Favorable Review

Excellent drive

PLEXTOR Duplication Grade DVD / CD SATA Burner Drive PX-891SAF - OEM
PLEXTOR Duplication Grade DVD / CD SATA Burner Drive PX-891SAF - OEM

Pros: Works exactly as expected.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Aside from going on sale right after I purchased it, there is nothing that indicates this unit doesn't follow in the steps of what made Plextor the go-to drive for those of us who expect performance right out of the box. It installed in seconds and reads, plays, and records just about anything thrown at it. It is relatively quiet and the tray operates smoothly. Why Plextor over less costly units? I have them in all my machines, and unlike other brands, they are still working admirably after years of use, one with over 10 years of duplication in a studio environment.

Horrid

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, DVD - OEM
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, DVD - OEM

Pros: None

Cons: Utter fail

Overall Review: DVD was faulty right out of the envelop. It froze on first stage of installation. I had to use a downloaded version from a previous build, which worked flawlessly. But who needs the DVD anyway as long as the key code is valid?

Fast and dependable

AMD Ryzen 5 2nd Gen - RYZEN 5 2600 Pinnacle Ridge (Zen+) 6-Core 3.4 GHz (3.9 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W YD2600BBAFBOX Desktop Processor

Overall Review: I imagine a gamer might want something somewhat more powerful than this CPU, but with a good video card and mobo, a bunch of RAM, and WIN 10 Pro 64 bit, this thing just flies! Runs at a cool 28°C under normal application in a 70°F room.

Solid ram

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2B3200C16

Pros: Works

Cons: Can be problematic with AMD Ryzen CPUs at above adjusted speed of 2132MHz

Overall Review: Losing some ram speed is irrelevant to me; it works great in my setup.

Rating has nothing to do with the seller. Just that the CPU isn't booting. MSI said mobo is compatible with Ryzen 5500, new bios was installed, yet no go. Not the first time this happened with that item based on reviews. Oh well, win some, lose some.
