Summary: up and running in no time
Review: I received this drive as a xmas gift. I have never installed a new drive in a pc before and it only took me about 20 minutes to get this one up and running. The lit that comes with it is a bit scarce but my pc manual filled in the gaps. I've never had a burner before but so far this one seems to work just fine. The Nero burn software that comes with it is fully upgradeable and comes with all kinds of bells and whistles. All in all seems to be a great drive for the price!

Summary: No trouble at all!
Review: I waited a couple of months to write this review, because I wanted to give the drive a fair trial. All I can say is that it has done a good job on every disc I have made so far. I have used it to copy discs, and as a floppy drive for backups, and it works just swell. I didn't have any trouble with the installation, and I am not a computer wiz. The Nero software is a little hard to figure out, but it works good. I am glad I bought this drive!

Summary: SUPER FAST!
Review: I was a bit hesitant to purchase this item at first due to lack of a brand name...but I could not resist the price, and gave in.
I am so glad that I did...This drive is unbelievably fast and reliable. What used to take me hours to burn takes just minutes now with this 24x10x40x drive! This product also comes with NERO BURNING ROM software which is a big plus...it is the best cd burning software I have ever used (and I have used many different ones).
I am not that technical, but it was easy to install this drive in place of a very slow HP cd writer...and although it does not list Windows XP, I have had no problems running it with XP Professional....
I highly recommend this item!

Review: I was very excited to get the burner i mean hey i went from a 4X to a 24X but you have to know plenty about computers to get this thing going sometimes. They always say its an easy installation.. I got news for them perfect installations are in there dream land. Once i got the thing working it works all right. but if you aren't very good with computers go with a name brand its worth the extra bux. PS there is a TOLL FREE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THIS BURNER THOUGH. I called it once i got through i had to listen to faqs for 5 minutes and the tech support guy didn't speak good english but its better then nothing...ok its really not.. the number just in case anyone really needs it is 18008830206

Summary: Great so far
Review: I'm not sure about the problems other reviewers have had with installation. It was exactly like any other IDE drive for me. Change the jumper (if needed, it defaults to Master), plug in the data and power cables, and the optional audio cable. That was it for me. My previous version of Nero didn't recognize it (v5.524 maybe), but the included version did (v 5.535). I've only burned at 12x and 16x so far, because it recognizes the max speed of the blank cdr and won't burn faster. The only error I've had was when trying to overburn a cd to 77+ minutes and including CDtext using Feurio software. The last track is bad, but otherwise, no problems.

Summary: Works great...no problems
Review: I'm surprised that this burner gets such mixed reviews. This was my first-time doing any kind of installation and everything went smoothly. The Nero software that came with the burner works great and is filled with very useable features. I think this is a great buy for the price.

Summary: Speedy value
Review: If you understand the IDE lingo of master, slave and cable select then you probably won't need the documentation provided. If you don't know what these terms mean, then the documentation will not be useful to you anyway. That being said, this drive worked right out of the box, burns just as quickly as advertised and is quiet. I'm quite happy with my purchase.

Summary: Awesome
Review: It burns CompUSA 16X CDRs at 16X with no problems at all. Installation was a breeze. I had to set it up as an IDE slave even though the manual does not recommend it (I didn't have a choice since I already have an IDE hard-drive and an IDE DVD/CD). It seems to work fine and it is really fast. I am very happy with the Nero software that came with it though a little disappointed that my CD Creator 4.0 didn't recognize the drive. After using Nero, I can't say that I miss CD Creator.

Summary: this is a good burner for a non name brand
Review: it has alot of buffer underrun errors
it always says on cd-cd copies "Buffer underrun error avoided 98 times" or somewhere around there, i have had about a 95% success rate on this, its a good burner but if you want a more reliable one get a name brand, if you dont mind about 2 cdrs out of 50 being wasted buy it
