This unit worked as soon as connected. It is actually a lite-on drive inside. The only inconvenient is the large power plug that will take some space in the carrying bag.

Works like a charm! I'm a 78-year-old grandma, I installed this thing and had it running within minutes. The Lightscribe thingy is positively fantastic! I have impressed all of my senior friends with my professional looking disks. Highly recommended! Rg
