Pros: I am extremely happy with this dvd burner. My previous SATA burner died and I want to give it one more chance and I didn't think it performed so well for the price. I immediately notice improvement in speed on all factor, faster bootup, faster reading/copy, somehow faster writing, and faster disc eject. I am delighted at this. It is fairly quiet, for reading it makes noises like most other cdrom, but I do not hear anything when it's burning. Have been burning cd, dvd and dual layers without problems. The physical size is also short. I also have to praise Philips for including the Nero7 software which I already have, but is really an excellent burning software.
Cons: 1. The main eject button doesn't have a firm click feel to it, but this is does not bother me. 2. I have seen better lightscribe printing quality. It seem be lack contrast and sharpness, I would have to print twice or three time to have a decent image. This does not matter to me as well since I only use printable disc. 3. Somehow it only detect my CD-R lowest burning speed at 16X, I would prefer to burn slower to prevent any data corruption, but so far so good.
