Pros: There is not one derogatory comment that I could make about this DVD drive. I have used it from installing software to watching movies and it is still going strong. I was impressed with the increase of read speed, from the standard 16x to 18x. I must admit I was a little apprehensive about purchasing this unit, when I learned that JoeBot experienced a problem with one of the mounting holes not being drilled properly. I am happy to report; I did not encounter such an issue. I would recommend this particular drive to anyone.
Cons: Absolutely none.
Overall Review: Thinking about contacting Lite-on to see if I can purchase additionals belts. In time belts begin to stretch and than break.
