The product worked great right out of the box. Quiet. Easy Install. The software created a small problem so I am using Nero. Don't know why some ratings were down. The value can't be beat!

Simple install with good Roxio software. Was fairly quiet. Unit was as solid as most other lower priced burners. Giveaway price with the $30.00 rebate. Plextor accepted my rebate information and informed me very fast via e-mail. (make sure you follow all the instructions for the rebate.)

It writes and reads very fast, but has very poor construction, I feel like I'm going to break it every time I use the eject button. I would not have purchased it it wasn't free.
