Description of Optiarc Serial ATA Internal Optical AD 5290S

[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 “Donut Rings” 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).

Works like a charm - Internal optical drives

This unit was very easy to install. Much easier than removing a failed drive. Connects easily and works great. The price was fair and I couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Good but not great

Even the base overburner

Don't overcharge too often so just buy the base overburner and send the max burner payload every time I want to burn. It's easy and takes a few seconds as the command is part of the image capture application. So I don't have to spend extra money for the Plus model. Used Verbatims, burned and reviewed the XDG3 disc just fine. Firmware 1.PE

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Drive, he said! best in internal CD and DVD drives

Thought it was a software problem but it turned out ok. Replaced the original CD which was recorded incorrectly and with poor sound quality. Just replace. the task is solved.

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • Negative result present

Works great, no problems

There was a small problem: I had this drive installed on an old computer, so I had to buy an adapter. The part (CERRXIAN SATA Female to 40pin Male 3.5" IDE Adapter for PC to SATA Interface Adapter Interface Adapter) was inexpensive (about $10) and found here at Revain. Plug & Play and the new drive worked great. Makes good CDs that play great in my old car. The new drive is noticeably quieter and smoother than the decades-old one it replaced.

Cons
  • Fair
