Description of ๐Ÿ“€ Optiarc AD-5290S-PLUS Black SATA Internal DVD Optical Drive Burner with 8.7GB Overburn and XGD3 Support

[DVD+R DL overburn] Expands the writing capacity from 8.5GB up to 8.7GB* (*Based on media compatibility), to allow the user to capture more content on a single DVD+R DL disc. [Highly accurate and reliable CD & DVD recording] Supports full range of common DVD & CD formats including DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-RW and CD-R. [Enhanced Recording Stabilization Control] Ensures all drives in a single duplication environment burn uniformly to avoid disproportionate speed fluctuations, which lead either to failed discs or less compatible completed discs. [Archival Burning Capability] Able to burn virtually all makes of specialty archival media, including the 1000 year M-Disc brand. [No Donut Ring] Prevents uneven concentric ring patterns causing โ€œDonut Ringsโ€ on the recording layer. [Industrial tray gears & pulleys] provides a more stable disc loading tray for a longer life cycle (1 cycle equals 1 tray extend from and then return into the drive). [XGD3 Support] Provides DVD+R DL overburn that supports XGD3.

Burns well through internals

Works great so far and allows me to fit more memory (movie sizes) on DVD+R and DVD+R DL than my Samsung DVD writer. The reason I got 1 star is that it uses a very small rubber band actuator to open and close the front door. Because of this, I had problems with ASUS DVD burners. Hope it stands the test of time.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Empty

Excellent Quality Optical Drive

Good Reliable Optical CD Drive. The front panel is a bit plain as the button to open the drawer is all black and hard to see. This device is said to be capable of burning 8.7GB overflow discs, and the M-Disc can write to the exclusive M-DISC archival media, which can store digital content for up to 1000 years without data loss. I haven't made any of these yet. The Optiarc brand used to be marketed under the Sony brand. I was amazed by all the very cheap optical drives. It had more than all theโ€ฆ

Don't buy used! - Computers and Accessories

These devices are amazing. Quiet operation, smooth operation of the drawer and the ability to overwrite media with sufficient capacity. After trying too many cheap drives this one broke. Time will tell if it's durable, which other drives have lacked, but for now it's a pleasure to use. A warning though, the second unit was bought secondhand through Revain. I figured since they were selling there was a good used work tool out there. It wasn't like that. The original packaging has obviously beenโ€ฆ

The best DVD recorder on the market is back!

There's no better DVD burner than this drive. I have the Overborn Edition and it is great for gaming on the Xbox 360. Now that I have this disc I no longer need any special software to burn XGD3 games. This drive will automatically expand to 8.7GB every time you insert a blank disc and open Imgburn or any other program you use. It's quiet and looks great in my gaming desktop. Do not buy discs other than this one! My actuator was made in 2017 and works just as well as the Optiarc of the time but

  • So-so
