Pros: Great burning speeds! I've bought several of these so far and they are all great. I have tried various forms of burnable media in this drive and have had no bad disc's. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a a great burner!

Cons: None so far!

Pros: Great drive, super quiet, burns all the 16x rated disks i have at 20x, takes around 4 minutes to burn a dvd. No coasters from 50+ disks so far. So good i recommended to friends and family

Cons: It wasn't free !

Overall Review: DVD-RAM capability is not really useful any more, but always nice to have

Pros: The specs What is hopefully a trustworthy manufacturer

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: The great thing about this drive is its overall size - it is SHORT!! (or shallow rather, as in depth). One of the biggest issues I faced in building a Home Theater PC using a really nice Thermaltake Tenor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133158) case was that it has a very shallow depth available for the DVD device. Well, here's your drive!

Pros: This is my second Phillips burner i got from 'the egg' in one week. As said previously it is good to excellent writer but can be a loud reader. For the money you pay there is no better deal out there. DO MAKE sure to update the firmware using the link I've posted below !!! It fixes many annoyances, like slow media recognition, etc.

Cons: Do not relay on the automatic software for updates (it doesn't work anyway), get it your self at: www.storageupdates.philips.com/en/dvdrw.html

Overall Review: All the unhappy people with high reading noise level should use Nero DriveSpeed (Google for it). It can limit speed of the drive to completely silent on the fly. Y'all should Google first and complain later. 'The egg' has no avatars to solve your problems. And there are many good sites that will help you, all it takes is some effort... so good luck.

Pros: 1) Cost 2) Ease of installation 3) Good Packaging 4) Retail product for a few $ more provides everything you need.

Cons: 1) It is louder than I hoped but it seems all drives at these speeds are any more. 2) Software bundling with partial cripple-ware. You have to buy "add-ons" to get full functionality.

Overall Review: I bought this drive to replace the OEM drive that came in my D*LL after it bit the dust. Did not want to spend $100 on a drive since I knew I would not be using it for burning that much. I have owned previous Phillips lines of burners and know they have good quality, life and support. If you are looking for an affordable replacement, this is a very good choice. Newegg service is the best around. Processing and shipment times are incredibily fast and I never have a complaint about their packaging.

Pros: This burner works better than the oem HP 200i it replaced. A bit noisy, but nothing that can't be ignored. Installed easily and without a problem. I would recommed this product to anyone looking for a budget DVD burner.

Cons: I think the included Nero software might be outdated. Slightly noisy as previously stated. Only possible gripes I think anyone could have.

Overall Review: As I'm sure everyone on this site already knows, newegg.com is FAST at getting customers the product.

Pros: 1. Burns quickly and reliably 2. Looks decent.

Cons: 1. Kinda noisy

Overall Review: It does its job like its 100 dollar counterparts, but it is noisy at speed. but, its 30 bucks. I have no complaints.

Pros: Good drive although slow on recognizing inserted DVDs. Does good job burning DVDs of all kind including DVD+DL. To make good quality burns with +DL use good media and stay away from e-cheapo. This drive loves Verbatim +DL.

Cons: Do not install Nero 7 Essentials, it sucks, go with Nero 6 instead. New firmware is available on Philips WEB site at: www.storageupdates.philips.com/en/dvdrw.html

Overall Review: I'm going to buy few more of these drives especially they are now shipped free and got some small rebate too...
