Rating: Summary: Good performance and value Review: I purchased this DVD ROM device to perform a specific primary task - as a back-up device for my laptops (I have three) - with some secondary needs, such as transferring some of my older VHS tapes to DVD. It meets all of these needs perfectly.Set-up is easy, and the software that ships with it is perhaps not world-class, but does the job. Installation and user documentation are clear and easy to follow; however, I have not needed to use the manufacturer's technical support, so I cannot comment on the quality of that. Note - I purchased this device based more on price than features, so if you are looking for a full featured DVD ROM, or one with more sophisticated software, you may want to shop around and compare others on the market. If your needs are relatively simple, such as mine are, and want to burn data, music and video at an affordable price, this model is a solid buy.
Rating: Summary: You don't need another optical drive Review: When I bought this product several months ago, I set it up in five minutes and was burning DVDs in no time. Nowadays I don't burn DVDs as often, but it's still the fastest CD-RW drive I have and it plays DVDs and CDs. What more do you need?
I have it stacked on my Dell 4550 that came with a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW drive. I keep my two most played video games in those two drives and use my Lacie to do everything else. It's a great primary drive: installing programs, ripping CDs, burning any kind of disk (CD and DVD)...
I also want to mention that I've never had a malfunction of the drive (I just reviewed an external HD that sometimes was not recognized by my system), it's always provided top-notch performance, whether with my notebook or my desktop.
This is a five-star product all the way!
