Low Lifetime

This drive worked fine for about three years, then failed. I had to replace it with a CD drive that was manufactured 3 years earlier, but still working.

Waste of money

This burner can't read its own DVDs! There are many people who have the same issue with this burner. I made data backups, checking the DVDs after burning them. The disks are fine, but this burner can't read most of the data 90% of the time.

Only Half-good... so it's half bad

Good for burning DVD's, no problems. But when it comes to CD, the music playing skips, or there'r some bad sectors on backup cds. Don't throw out your CD-RW, you'll still need it!

Best burner I've had so far.

This is the best burner I've had so far. I've had very few bad burns with this drive, less than 5%, and This burner can burn CD's better than any DVD/CD burner I've had before. The DVD burner I tried using before this was a MaxDog burner which was a piece of crap which didn't burn discs correctly at 16x. I bought mine 2 years ago and am just now starting to crap out, most of the other drives I've had haven't lived for more than 1.5 years before they go bad.

To the guy below me, you probably have a bad drive, I have no problems with mine.

Not recommended

I have had big time problem with this DVD writer for the simple fact that half of the DVDs i burn on this writer gets wasted. half way thru, this writer either fails to burn the contents or gets stuck. 1 have wasted 6/10 DVDs like this. i donno if this problem exists only with my writer or if its a universal issue..
