THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

What you should know

	Selecting and Installing Optical Drives If you want to upgrade your existing optical drives or add something new, like a DVD drive, here are some easy tips to follow to help you make your choice. For your convenience, we’ve included nearly a score of simple installation hints, along with helpful photographs, to assist you.

CD / DVD Burners

A CD / DVD Burner is a computer peripheral device that stores data on optical discs (CDs or DVDs). Some drives can only read from discs, but commonly drives are both readers and recorders. Recorders are often called burners or writers.  Today, most computers come with a DVD CD Burner combo, a DVD Burner, a CD Burner, or an External DVD Burner.  However, as the technology evolves, it is necessary to upgrade to the latest burners to stay current with the latest optical media formats.  If your computer only came with a CD burner, then upgrading to a DVD & CD Burner means you can record both of today's most popular formats.

CD & DVD burner drives from HP, Pioneer, Plextor, Sony, and other are generally used for making backup copies of prerecorded media, archival storage, or data exchange.  With the current low prices for media, and the vaster storage capacities, DVD burners especially are increasingly popular.  CD burners, and DVD burners, along with flash memory, have displaced floppy disk drives and magnetic tape drives as the preferred backup and storage devices in computers and consumer entertainment hardware.  With new DVD to DVD duplicators from Norazza, making backups of your DVDs is easier than ever!
