Summary: Excellent Value
Review: The Pacific Digital U-30115 Internal 16X DVD-ROM was easy to install out of the box. In addition, it (now) ships with PowerDVD 4.0 (a vast improvement over WinDVD)!Only 1 problem ... there was no manual in the box to tell me which jumper setting was appropriate. Nothing major since the information was available on the product website and was easy enough to figure out without the manual.

Summary: Ok drive, bad software
Review: The software that came with the drive was terrible. The interface was impossible to use and I spent too much time figuring out how to do simple features like full screen, and windowed screen. The playback was pretty skippy, but I assume it's the software, I'm going to get myself PowerDVD 3 as soon as I get a chance. The description I found at Pacific Digital's website was not true, and the software does not let you view movies with 5.1 surround sound. The feature is not available. You can however use stereo... I was also upset reading the system requirements that said 350 mhz or better, but when I recieved the drive, it turned out that you needed 350 pentium or better, or 450 AMD or better..

Summary: Silence is golden!
Review: This drive is a true noise maker. If you prefer drive noise,
vibrations and whines while watching DVD's or playing any
other media than this is the one for you. I did not detect problems with dual layered DVD's but there
were some problems with playing the outer tracks of some
Audio CD's. The drive color is a light off grey and not beige as one would
think. The drive tray was slightly misaligned and gave the
impression that all would break after a few months use as it
made clickity clackity noises while opening and closing. I found no value in its pricing and would recommend that anyone
considering a new DVD drive purchase one from the media giants
such a Sony or Samsung whose quality and attention to detail will
never be matched by Pacific Digital...

Summary: Locks up my computer all the time!!!
Review: This drive sucks. I paid (on sale at Staples) $115.00 And it has not worked well since the day I got it. It locks my computer up so bad, I cannot even shut it down!!! I have to hard power it down and as you know not shutting everything else down causes software problems... I have tried to find firmware upgrades for this drive and none can be found on internet. The front of the retail box (which I still have) brags about Toll Free Technical Support.... uh... so what... someone answers the phone, they don't speak good english and they can't help me. Last Pacific Digital Product I am ever going to buy. Stick with name brands... Plextor, Sony, both support their drives... even the older ones. Gee I am mad!!! I won't get fooled again!

Summary: Easiest Piece Of Hardware I've Ever Installed
Review: This is without a doubt the easiest piece of hardware I've ever installed. I bought this to replace an existing CDRom drive. This was as simple as removing the CDRom drive, moving the rails over to the DVD drive. replugging the cables and starting up the machine. That was it. I then loaded in the software for DVD and that was just as quick. I opened up the DVD drive slipped in the CD, it auto started, loaded and in 2 minutes was finished. I can listen to music or watch a movie. The product has really set the standard for hardware installation. If your savvy with making hardware changes on your machine, you will appreciate the ease of use. If you have always been afraid to make changes or upgrades to your computer, this product is for you.
