Duration of ownership: 1 Month
Strengths: Has done a peffect job on everything I have asked of it.I noticed a VERY recent build date so I am assuming it is a newer model.I really liked the Nero 7 software that came with it.Obviously updated since previous review.
Weaknesses: Since this is my first DVD burner,it may be normal but it seemed rather noisy while burning. Also slow in label burning mode.
Overall: Unbelievablely happy with it for the price.Like a monkey on a banana boat!! If the life of it is as good as the rest of it,it'll wind up with a 9 out of 10. Why not a 10? Because there is ALWAYS room for improvement.

Strengths: Labels don't peel off and no Sharpies needed!
Weaknesses: Lightscribe in "Best" mode does take some time to "burn" label
Overall: Reads. Writes Cd and DVDs. Also throw that sharpie out lightscribe burns the label directly on the Media! No peeling labels, nice neat look. Lightscribe does take some time to burn, worth the wait ~ 15 minutes for list of album tracks.

Strengths: lightscribe, fast DL burner, 16x reader and writer
Weaknesses: none
Overall: Not much to discuss with a dvd burner other than it works, and it does burn at full speed. And those who like lightscribe would like this burner. I recommend for anyone that burns media often.

Strengths: Reads and writes all media their specs promise. Fast drive. Excellent price, and comes with Nero 6.
Weaknesses: None
Overall: I had a Plextor drive that died just after the 1-year warranty expired. The other reviews spoke favorably about this drive and the performance make it a steal at this price.

Strengths: Excellent price, performance, features
Weaknesses: None really. Upgrading the LightScribe software improves label quality, at the risk of a longer write time.
Overall: This is my first DVD burner, and I'm glad I waited to buy. I've had good luck with Lite-on CD-Rs in the past (as have family members for whom I've built PCs), so I decided to go with a Lite-on DVD. Thus far I've burned roughly 30 discs of various formats--DVD-R/+R, -R DL, and a couple CDs--and I've had just one problem disc; a Panasonic DVD-R that failed during verification following the burn. The disc was readable, but some data was recognized by Nero as corrupt. I'm very pleased, and I plan on buying a second unit for my wife's PC.
