Installed two of these simultaneously. One worked without a hitch. I had to disable IDE BusMastering in BIOS for the second to work.
The second drive occasionally does not recognise a DVD that the first one will.
The drives are fast, extremely quiet and great for the price!

One of the best Rom drives I've ever used. Worked right out of the box, was easy to install, and the multiple faceplates were an awesome extra. And the price was simply fantastic!

Great...! That I needed a DVD burner for my computer at work. But Nero Express is not as user friendly as Roxio. And it seems that Roxio has a problem seeing that this drive is actually connected to the computer. I find this fustrating and cannot find firmware to rectify this situation.

The extra faceplates are a nice touch (wasn't expecting it at all). The killer feature for me though is that it is quiet (or quieter). Just kills me to hear a flaming optical drive spinning from the next room over.

Very nice product, worked perfectly straight out of the box, fast and reliable read and write functions with both CDs and DVDs. For this quality, with alternate colored face plates included, you can't beat the price.
