This is my second drive I have bought. First one is still working like a charm, so I bought a second one for my second computer. I have to say this drive is by far the best for the money. about 1 or 2 coasters per 300 or so discs and 1 of those was a factory dvd defective disc. You cannot go wrong with this drive.

Excellent burner! works like a Champ, and very cheap for the quality. Face plate? ( Don't even think about changing it!) not worth the time or trouble. I highly Recommend this burner to everyone.

Excellent DVD burner. Easy to change face plate with the one that came with the computer. Open/Close operation a bit slow but no problems burning. The tray colour is black inside.

Great burner for the price. Face plate was difficult to remove for color switch, but otherwise works great.

Good drive, I used it in my first build. Easy to install, yes the faceplate was difficult to take off but pretty smooth after that. Sort of loud at certain speeds...
