BEST 22X DVD+R BURNER CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET!6/9/2008 4:05:18 AM
Pros: If you are a +R media enthusiast like me this is the burner for you! This beats my LiteOn 20A4P scans when it comes to +R media. I burn between 700-1000 vids a month and I usually burn at 8X or 12X. This is the first burner that I have owned that I don't have any problem with burning at 16X and not being concerned about playability issues for my customers.
Cons: A definite con about this burner is that it doesn't burn -R media too well. I have burned several -R disks with this burner and they play fine but the problem is they don't scan well using CD-DVD SPEED. I'm sure this issue will be addressed and fixed in upcoming firmware upgrades.
Overall Review: This is a much better burner than the GSA-H55N 20X burner. I have that one as well and GH22NP20 is in a whole new class. I don't really care about the problem with -R media because I use +R media 99% of the time anyway. If I need to burn a -R disc I just use my LiteOn. Here are some results of my burns which are all DVD+R 16X burns scanned at 4X using Liteon 20A4P: (1) Ritek R05, PIE 12, PIF 2, Jitter Avg. 9.43% (2) Verbatim MCC 004 PAPA PIE 10, PIF 2, Jitter Avg. 8.36% (3) Cheap Nexxtech AML 003 PIE 37, PIF 2, Jitter Avg. 9.9%
Again, this is the best 22X +R burner on the market!

works great!7/22/2008 4:07:05 PM
Pros: Works as advertised, although I'm frankly unconcerned with the rated burning speeds, noise factor's extremely important--- and this is much quieter than any other optical drive I've used at home. Just plug & play, although the included driver disc does help some, it's not absolutely necessary and in fact unexpected considering this is OEM.
Cons: Just don't use the "software" included on the disk. Unnecessary and intrusive.
Overall Review: Free shipping when I bought, and <3 days from the Egg. Works very well in Ubuntu and XP on the dualboot here at home.
Pros: Received my order in 1 day on the free shipping..awesome job once again Newegg. Great drive so far. Plugged in the burner and it started working in minutes. Fast and quiet. Perfect especially for the price.
