LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model iHAS220-08 LightScribe Support

Pros: works great.good price.comes with sata cable

Cons: other reviews have stated this before but until i used it i didnt know how loud this thing would really be it is the loudest drive i have ever heard.it sounds like it could stop working at any time but so far so good and it gets 4 stars from me because the noise lvl doesnt matter.

Pros: Easy to install via SATA and BIOS did recognize it perfectly, Works with Vista x64 and OS recognized drive correctly (without installing a special driver)

Cons: Very loud when spinning at high speed

Overall Review: SATA is the way to go for spead and ease of cable routing.

Pros: Burns a full music CD in about 5 minutes. No problems with it whatsoever.

Cons: A little loud when copying massive amounts of data from CD/DVD to HD.

Pros: Pulled it out of the box, installed in the case, fired up the computer, used it to install Nero, etc., works perfectly with no problems.

Cons: Slightly noisy at spin-up but not too bad.

Pros: The first DVD burned without a hitch. So far, I've made around 30 DVDs, mostly Sony 16x DVD+R video, and haven't had a coaster yet. No problems burning at the max speed.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Good deal for $31.

Pros: Burns DVDs twice as fast as the IDE burner I got two years ago. Installation was a snap.

Cons: Might be the DVDs, could be the software, or maybe the burner's max speed should be advertised as less, but roughly half of the DVDs would skip during playback and failed data verification. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and 5-star it anyhow.

Overall Review: Might not be reliable at max speed, but that should be easy to fix if you can stand to wait a little longer and use slower speeds.

Pros: Extremely fast, wrote a 600Mb ISO to a CD in under 2 minutes. This drive is an upgrade from an Identical IDE burner and it was well worth the wopping 30 dollars to upgrade. Going to buy a second one soon for a matched set.

Cons: None, other than these disc drive manufacturers are getting really bad on the level of burning software they are providing, this particular drive came with Nero 7 essentials, It's kind of annoying to not even get the full version of 7 considering Nero is on 9 now. But this is absolutely nothing against the drive itself and by all rights they could give you no software at all so it's just whatever I guess.

Overall Review: In my opinion (take it for what you will) Lite-On is the way to go, I've used nothing but their brand of drives for the past 5 years and never experienced even a slight hiccup in any drive.

Pros: I have had this burner for two days now and I love it. Its not loud as I have read in other reviews. I have burned over 80 dvd's already and its been a breeze.

Cons: Absolutely no cons on this one. Great price, great item!!!
