The last piece of an upgrade for a friend's HP. Noticeably quieter than the drive that was in there before, and worked perfectly from the get go. Haven't had a chance to burn with it yet, but don't foresee any problems.

Yes, I know it's not a blu-ray burner, but I couldn't think of any other weaknesses. It does burn very quickly, and I have not made a single coaster (I burned 25 discs yesterday alone). It's quiet, fast, and it runs off the IDE Bus (No point in wasting a SATA port on a device that's still not going to bottleneck the IDE bus). I like it, and I'll buy another one that's exactly the same should I need another DVD burner.

Fast, cool and quiet one-platter design hard drive. Great price when on sale. Got it for a friend who needed, he's very happy with it.

It's cheap and it worksOther than that, it's quiet and relatively free of vibration. However, I haven't checked the burn quality yet. The drive has an IDE interface, which I actually find more convenient because some operating systems require SATA drivers.

Purchased this for a friend's P4 computer when the old Burner fried. Lets see how long this lasts. It's just that any electronics, mainly computers, tend to fry when in close proximity to my friend.

I use these to replace dvd readers and cd writers on older machines. They are dependable and fast. I actually keep one and use it to install stuff on older machines that don't even have a dvd. Great choice when you don't have sata.

Since this drive is the IDE version, it might not be liked as much as the SATA version.

I picked one of these up on sale as a backup unit. It has an IDE interface, so may not be everone's cup of tea, but most motherboards still carry one IDE channel anyway. Hard to beat the price on sale. Of course, it is an OEM drive, so no screws, no software, only an installation guide. There's plenty of burning software available for download if you don't have what you need already, and for me this wasn't an issue. I just needed basic burning capabilities, and got it.
