Pros: This drive does everything it was designed to do, plus more... If you search the web you will find an optional Optiarc firmware that allows you to permanently set the "bit-setting / booktype" permanently to DVD-ROM, on all DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD+R DL / DVD9 media. This feature is very convenient for obtaining "absolute" compatibility among different devices. The performance of this unit is great, for being a "laptop" DVD-RW drive, and at this price nothing can match it. I've been a NEC CD & DVD drive fan for the past 15+ years, and recently with the joint venture with Sony (Optiarc), they are still delivering pioneering technologies and products at a great price. Like previously stated, this product is no exception to it.
Cons: Wished the drive could burn at a faster speed, like their desktop counterparts, but the current space and power limitations make it unsuitable at this moment. It's just a matter of time that they improve their overall performance.
