Pros: burns cd's and dvd's great with my existing sonic SW VERY quiet

Cons: Lightscribe capability is a MESS Check out the user forums on Surething or HP support to see the MANY issues. Be sure to downloaded latest drive firmware from HP support, latest lightscribe host SW from HP or your favorite label SW vendor. Lightscribe WEB site has Host SW also but not the latest. Lot's of media not recognized errors. Suprised by so many other reviews here loving this thing!!

Overall Review: buy it for the drive not the lightscribe! When you finally get it to work sit back, take a nap, your disc label will be done in 25 minutes!
