Rating: Summary: Slightly better than garbage Review: Installation was easy per the instructions, that's where the good news ends. It interfered with Windows Media Player and now it won't play I get an error message that says I don't have a sound card. I'm lucky to burn 1 in 10 CD's without some kind of Hard Drive or software crash. Their technical support sends you to a web site where you have to browse for hours and try to figure out your problem. What a mistake.

Rating: Summary: worked for 20 days and quit Review: Purchased drive 12/02 for transferring data files only. Quit working approx 20 days later. Loud vibration and would no longer recognize any blank media. Will still read a CD, on occasion--you guess when. No company support via email after three emails. No 1-800 number and must DIG to find toll number for tech support which so far has not produced a result. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DRIVE unless you enjoy pain.

Rating: Summary: Drive can be of Several Mfg Review: the one i got was model 4618P, which is a crappy Acer(Benq) drive. there have been many reports on the variations of models, and therefore problems associated with this drive. for instance, my Benq is actually a 48x16x48...but dont let that 16x speed dupe you into thinking it's a good deal; unless it's the LTR (lite-on) model, i'd return the item (should say on the back of the box what model)....i didnt check then, and i'm regretting it now, as this stupid drive burns tons of coasters...

Rating: Summary: Fast and Easy! Review: This was my first experience installing a drive of any kind. The manual gives complete instructions how to replace an existing CD ROM or install this into an empty bay. It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out and do it. The drive burns fast (I've only done writing so far, no re-writing) - I made an audio CD last night and it burned a full 80 min in 5:41 which includes about 3 minutes that my computer spent calculating track volume for each track and only burning at 32x since that's all the discs will handle that I bought. It also comes with an IDE cable and an audio cable if you need them. I didn't since I was replacing an existing drive. Also, the included Nero burning software helps make it easy to burn any format you need. I'm real happy with it so far.
