Performance not impressive

Hello, I bought this drive expecting it to work very well, definitely better than my 3 year old Optiarc AD-7200S. Well it isn't. I ran the included Nero DiscSpeed 5 software on both drives on the same computer. The old drive outperformed it in reading speed. Here are the reading results: __________Liteon__OptiarcAverage__3.95x___7.41xStart____2.63x___4.92xEnd_____5.00x___9.39x Both tests were performed with the same SQL Server 2008 DVD from Microsoft. Unfortunately, the old Optiarc doesn't burn

Pros
  • Dual layer DVD+/-R9 support
Cons
  • Good but not great

The best and cheapest DVD burner money can buy!

This Liteon DVD burner is a dream come true! It will read any CD or DVD you throw at it. The previous DVD recorder I had was terrible. He could never read discs, especially old ones with light scratches and worst of all. It could barely burn DVD+R DL discs unless I set the speed very low, and even then I'd get kickers, but not this kid. I now burn DVD+R DL discs at 8x speed and it works perfectly! Seriously if you are looking for a new DVD burner but don't have a big budget. Buy this DVD…

Pros
  • Internal DVD+R / DVD+RW / DVD-R / DVD-RW / DVD+R9 / DVD-R9 / DVD-RAM / DVD-ROM / CD-R / CD-RW / CD-ROM Half Height SATA Drive
Cons
  • No Automatic

Quiet computers and accessories

I love this drive. It's quiet and compatible with anything I throw at it. Litons are also usually great for testing recording quality. Doesn't come with LightScribe, but I have another drive that supports LS, so that's not a problem in my case. This is the IHAS324 model. If you need Lightscribe, use the IHAS424 (essentially the same drive but with Lightscribe support). All in all very recommendable.

Pros
  • ABS reduces vibration and noise when writing and reading
Cons
  • May cause injury

It does what it's supposed to do

I have bought this drive about two weeks ago and so on. so far it has worked great. I've burned about 10 DVD+R DLs and DVD-Rs and haven't had any problems so far. The box contained a SATA data cable, four screws and a disc with Nero 9 Essentials. installation was easy and the only thing not included in the box that i had to buy was a sata power supply that i could connect to my pc's power supply. The block I received was made in July 2011 and is a "B" version. One last note, if you are…

Pros
  • The SMART-X feature adjusts the CD-DA/VCD/DVD extraction to the maximum allowed speed, depending on the frequency of data requests from the host and the quality of the disc.
Cons
  • Reliability

Large optical drive

I like the quality and reliability of LiteOn optical drives. I've never had a bad one. I bought this for a budget gaming build. It arrived in 2 days (thanks RevainPrime) and comes with loads of software (Windows only, although Nero includes a Linux trial version) to get you started. This no-frills drive is ideal for replacing an existing drive or for a new build. . I wish they had extra frames (they used to be black and white).

Pros
  • SATA half height internal DVD+R / DVD+RW / DVD-R / DVD-RW / DVD+R9/ DVD-R9/ DVD-RAM/DVD-ROM/ CD-R/ CD-RW / CD Combo -ROM drive
Cons
  • Some cons

Hmm Electronics: Internal CD and DVD drives

This is a fast burner! I got write errors and wasted four hard drives before realizing that this burner was faster than my computer (I have a Dell allll) so I set the write speed to just under the max for my hard drives and it works like a charm. Although it's loud, I didn't buy it for DVD playback, so whoever's complaining should look into it! This thing works. UPDATE: Well, a little over a year and hundreds of burns and this thing self-destructed. The drawer belt snapped and it froze. Went…

Pros
  • SMART BURN to avoid buffer underrun errors, automatic write strategy adjustment and OPC bypass for best recording quality
Cons
  • Compatibility
