Aopen any good?

Aopen = Acer

They make some nice optical drives. I have had good success with them.
 
i use have an aopen 8x4x24 burner, when i built a new rig i decided to put it into my new rig. I booted my new rig up, computer detected drive properly but drive wouldn't read/write at all, for no reason it had died on me. After that I stopped buying aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaopen drives......but it may just be bad luck.😉
 
Aopen makes top-quality products. They belong to the same company that owns Acer, but they are not made by Aopen. I have had several Aopen products & never had any problems with anything they made-very well made right down to the packaging. I have one of their 24/10/40 burners in my rig right now.
 
I have had a couple of AOpen/Acer drives the only thing I did not like was the ripping speed I had a 50x that ripped @ 8x and a 52x that ripped at the same speed. I also have the 8/4/24 buner and had to do a firmware update to get it to see TDK blank cd's after that it worked fine
 
If there was only 1 company I would avoid like the plague.... it would be hard to flea from just 1 ......

I was building up a 2nd PC for my house with extra parts, and i went out and picked up a CD-ROM.. Aopen 40X.. it was DOA.. took it back, got a new one, i was happy with it.. 3 weeks later, while playing shogo.. pop, bang. CD drive breaks and Shogo CD is stuck in there forever....... :| refused to take another in return for the 2 previous POS drives and i did as i usually do and insisted on an Asus 50X.. of course no problems since then.. i have never ever had a problem when using an Asus CD-ROM, those Aopen drives are 0 for 2 in my actual personal use... never had such bad luck with a product other than Linksys.. with a record of 1/3 pleasing/working products.. a bad switch and a router that went dead after a month.. Aopen and Linksys are my nightmare companies.. NEVER WILL I BUY AGAIN... carry on! 🙂
 
I wouldent mess with A-Open with all the other choices out there. It's best to buy the most popular brands because your more likely to see updates and fixes faster.
 
My Sisters boyfriend has an Aopen DVD and he has never complained about it, it's the 12x I think. They look almost identical to the Pioneer slot loaders.

I can't see why it wouldn't run under XP. And as for not choosing Aopen for drivers, I have never installed any drivers for CD/DVD/CD-R and have been running issue free under W2k.

<< Was thinking about their 12x/40x DVD-Rom for $35 shipped. Any opinions on brand and quality/reliability? >>

Aopen DVD drives are mainly Pioneer OEMs, I had that exact model for almost a year before selling it in a system a few weeks ago and it worked flawlessly.
 
I have a AOpen 24x burner aznd my wife has a 12x AOpen DVD Drive. Both are very good. No problems at all.
