AOpen 16X DVD-ROM Chameleon IDE Drive
Enjoy viewing your favorite movies, playing games or simply playing your preferred music. Whatever you need the Aopen 16x DVD-ROM is optimum for your data read needs. With practical features such as interchangeable bezels, software bundled Nero 7 Essentials, and black disc tray design. With a black tray design, signals get more accurately read and achieves a significantly better reading quality.
Also supports double/dual layer DVD format. The double/dual layer DVD uses two layers for data storage, which are separated by a spacer. The advent of this technology nearly doubles a DVD’s capacity from 4.7GB to 8.5GB.
To ensure users get the most relaxed and quiet working environment, Aopen designs mechanical structures made especially for controlling noise and vibration. ABS (Auto balance system) can effectively decrease the vibration due to high-speed rotation and improve reading and writing quality.

This is an ok drive and it does what it should do. Just don't buy it because it has software with it. This is ONLY a 30 day trial version and is two version behind the current verion of Nero.

Despite this being a non major brand name DVD Rom drive this unit is quite nice. It supports many different optical disc formats. My computer picked up on it and installed the drivers. I bought this drive so I could buy a copy of Painkiller Overdose because it's only on DVD Rom. My only negative comment is that the Nero 7 Essentials disc should say Nero 7 Essentials Trial on it because that's what it actually is. But that's just a minor issue with me, other then that this is still a good DVD Rom drive and it suits my needs. My thanks to Tigerdirect for having a couple of DVD Rom drives for just under $20.

I replaced a older DVD-ROM that worked intermittently and this one is just as good as the ''Big Brand Name'' that it replaced.
