LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM IDE DVD Burner

Pros: Fast, inexpensive, great drive. Ive had many lite-on drives and have loved them all! Easy plug and play install.

Cons: none, some people complain that this thing sounds like a plane taking off while spinning up. Ive found that while this model is louder than my previous 12x dvdr, but that is to be expected because of the higher spin speeds required to burn at faster rates.

Overall Review: writable media is not up to the speed of this burner yet. One in five dvds that I burn fail. No fault of the burner. Also, be aware that OEM doesnt come with any cables or software, if you need software and cables get the RETAIL version. Thats why the OEM version is less expensive.

If its not cable internet why bother?
