Fast but Noisy

Pros: Compatible with a wide range of DVD/CD blanks. Recognized by Nero, Roxio, Cheetah Fastburn, etc.
Cons: Very noisy. Previous reviewer had it right. Great price and compatibility but the loudest drive I've every owned.
Defective unit

Pros: Smart styling, all aluminum casing (except for port plate in rear), and multiple ports.
Cons: Unit runs hot and does not have a fan. The unit I purchased lasted two days before my system stop recognizing the drive. Put drive in a competitor enclosure and it's still working great to this day. Waiting for Newegg to send my replacement. I hope I have better luck the second time around.
Overall Review: Include a fan, even a low noise, low output fan would help.
Nice Asus laptop

Pros: Very fast with an excellent screen display. Bright and crisp. Massive upgrade from my old laptop. Love the speed!
Cons: My only complaint is a lack of Ethernet port. Had to buy a dongle.😫
Overall Review: I dont do gaming but on a work perspective, its a great machine.
Perfect for PSP

Pros: Works great in my PSP (Phat). Very fast file transfers from PC.
Cons: None
Solid Performer

Pros: Easy setup (plug and surf). Works flawlessly in my Linksys powered network.
Cons: None
Low price - fast shipping
Shopped around and Newegg had the best price. Memory received as expected. Will buy again.
