LITE-ON 22X DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 22X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black IDE Model iHAP422-08 LightScribe Support

Pros: Fast and seemingly fault free and the interchangeable faceplates come in handy.

Cons: Liteon should have made SmartErase a seperate item on the included Nero 7 Essentials disc...but read on below....

Overall Review: If you have an earlier or later version of Nero you can use SmartErase by extracting the CAB file D1C3A224 on the CD to wherever you wish to keep it and then make a shortcut wherever else you want it - desktop for instance.

Pros: LightScribe, DVD-RAM, and higher burn speeds. Also the lower price. Less than $30 for a great DVD burner is a hard deal to beat.

Cons: None seen yet. Any coasters I had were media at fault, not the burner.

Overall Review: This unit replaces an aging LiteOn already in service, which has burned several hundred discs before showing signs of laser failure. Of all the brands I've used, LiteOn does the job, and asks for more. I'll keep buying these because of their low prices and high reliability.

Pros: This is a great burner, and does everything I have wanted it to do. It burns 360 games excellently, with no coasters so far and over 15 games burned. It also supports book typing/bitsetting for all +R DVDs (which I use frequently to booktype to DVD-ROM) with no coasters either. All in all, this is a great burner for the price, and has high quality burns. Also, I love the Lightscribe support.

Cons: Other than it gets a little loud at high burn speeds (which doesn't bother me at all)...none so far!

Overall Review: Quiet as a mouse at low burn speeds, but it can get a little loud when burning at higher speeds...but that doesn't bother me at all.

Pros: So easy even I could do it. Works great

Cons: Nero software isn't that great

Overall Review: Go to Lightscribe website to download templates

Pros: It runs quietly and burns DVD, CD, and whatever needed just fine.

Cons: The Nero 7 Essentials is not so great, seems to be a cut down version of Nero.

Overall Review: The Nero software took me to the Nero web site and my computer locked up on that screen and I had a terrible time getting things back to normal. I suggest not going to there website from the installation disc when asked.

Pros: Burning media well and is relatively fast compared to worn out drive it replaced.

Cons: Not a fan of the supplied Nero Essential software.

Overall Review: Flashed drive with newer firmware from Lite-On: http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=75 Updated LightScribe driver and software: http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/index.aspx

Pros: Fast, quiet and works! Retail package comes with an optional white bezel, manual, and Nero Essentials. Shipping was fast.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I used this to replace a Samsung I had purchased less then a year ago that continued to give me intermittant problems. I have used Lite-On in numerous systems over the years and they continue to be a great value for the price.

Pros: Drive works great but the Nero 7 disk that is included will not install and Nero has it fixed that way to wherethey scan your PC first then they won't let this disk install.

Cons: The Nero 7 software disk that comes with the drive is junk it won't install from disk it takes you to Nero's web site then PC freezes.When I called Nero I talked to a hateful jerk claimed the software was outdated and to download it from there web site that it was the same software but after you install it from there web site you can only use it for 30 days then you have to pay for it or it won't work.There excuse is thatyou only purchased the drive and now you have to pay for the software.

Overall Review: Nero sucks they are outright crooks.
