This is one excellent CDRW drive for the money and performance-wise! Got mine last week (thanks for the tip DAPUNISHER!) and have been very happy with it so far. It's a perfect mate for my LiteOn LTR-163 DVD drive. It's very quiet and seems to be well built
My only bitch is that my current version of WinOnCD PE 3.7 will only recognize it as a 20x burner (need a driver update which, unfortunately, is not available). Roxio is no longer providing any support for this version so I would have to upgrade to 5.0 which I don't plan to do. 20x is fine!!!
Padus Diskjuggler burns at 40x no problem using 24x rated Fujifilms (TY) and the same goes for the included s/w, B's Recorder Gold. The dozen or so disks that I've burned (mostly dupes, all on-the-fly) have turned out perfectly...
Once the rebates come in, this drive will have cost me $35.77 total, damn what a deal!!! I remember paying $400.00 for an HP 7110i (2x2x6x) CDRW about 5-6 years ago!!!! And what a POS that contraption was...God I love this forum!!!
