LITE-ON Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model iHDP118-08

Pros: Plug and Play, what more can I say! Dropped it in case, attached power and the IDE Cable and done. Much more quiet than my old drive. Primarily use it with EAC and can hardly hear it. Reads burned DVD+R DL where my old drive was having problems.

Cons: nada

Overall Review: Satisfied... so far!

Pros: I was told to either buy or build a computer for work and had a $500 budget. I wanted the SATA version of this cd-rom but it was sold out, so, I used the IDE version. No real issues with it.

Cons: I gave it 4 eggs because the tray seems a little slower than most cd-rom drives I've seen.

Overall Review: I sorted the ROMs by price and chose one of the lowest priced ones. Newegg's website features really helps one make a good decision.

Pros: Great speeds and everything for IDE drive. I play lots of games and watch dvds on this build and the drive does exactly what i wanted it to: to read stuff quick for a cheap price.

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: Realize what your buying before you buy it. Its IDE and its DVD ROM, no writing or burning. Also it can get somewhat loud on initial load of dvd, but after a few secs, gets quieter than my system fan.

Pros: It work pretty well for about 32 days.

Cons: Began making a screech at start up, then it stopped making the screech, of course it was then completely dead. Called LiteOn they told me I would receive an RMA in about 5 days, that was April 16, 2009, I'm still waiting. Needless to say I no longer feel the need to buy from LiteOn.

Pros: Have been using Lite-on for many years only have had one problem and they exchanged quickly (within a week after sending them the bad drive). The drives work great.

Cons: None

Pros: Installed in minutes as a backup drive on new build. Vista Home Premium SP1 recognized immediately installed OS without a problem on an ASUS M3A78-T mobo.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It's the only IDE Drive on this build. Installed because Ihear that Vista gets fraeky and sometimes loses it's SATA drives after an update. O.K. it's a security blanket.

Pros: FAST & QUITE. Easy Installation. IDE. Have ripp'd over 250 dvd's to disk and it has worked each and every time I asked it to. It only takes 9-12 seconds from pushing the 'close' button until the disc is recognized & ready!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I mainly use it for backing up my DVD's to Hard Disk (over 300 dvd's). Using DVD shrink, I have achieved praise worthy speeds. Dual-Layer DVD=8,600-9,300 KB/s Read Rate speeds. Standard DVD=15,500-16,500 KB/s! VERY satisfied customer! Will be purchasing a Lite-On IDE Lightscribe burner in the very near future. Not satisfied with SATA speeds.

Pros: Haven't finished my computer yet but it works great on my families old one.

Cons: none
