Pros: Order the product yesterday, got it today. I'm freakin amazed by how fast their service is. The product is by Sony NEC Opti. (forgot the name). Burned 4 types of media so far, TDK, Ritec, Memorex and some low-end media called Sonic. 3 of the 4 medias burned at full 16x while sonic rarely reads at all. It's a great pickup for those of whom are budget wise. It's faster then my old NEC-3500A burner which coincidently is 16x as well but for some reason it doesnt burn at 16x on my TDKs. I've even updated the firmware for it but still no difference.
Cons: Other then the low-end media, No problems so far...
Overall Review: Great Burner, Can't wait to test out the 18x portion of the burner, though I haven't seen any 18x media yet...
