Strengths: It does a great job in burning the DVDs/ Nero software
Weaknesses: None encountered so far.
Overall: It does a great job in burning movies to the DVD, it burnt the 4.3b DVD disc in around 6 mins. and the dual layer (7.9gb) in 11mins. it does not have the lightscribe feature(of course i do not care about this), it's well worth the money. paid around $40 after rebate.

Strengths: Easy installation. Very reliable. Small size.
Weaknesses: None
Overall: I purchased this DVD drive over three weeks ago. The first time I plug it in, my XP recognized it immediately. Very easy installation. Since then I have burned a few DVDs. The brands of those disks are TDK, Playo, and Phillips. No single fail. When the DVDs were put into a stand alone DVD payer, there was no issue at all. This DVD burner is a little bit shorter than other DVD burners. This makes it more portable.

Strengths: Rugged construction, quick & easy hookup using supplied USB cable and AC power cable, very quite operation, mount horizontally on flat surface or use supplied craddle to operate in vertical position.
Weaknesses: User's manual is brief and does not provide much details on using the unit.
Overall: The unit is very easy to connect into a system that has an available USB port and AC power. After installing the provided software (Nero Suite that includes Nero Express 6.6 and the Cyberlink PowerDVD 5), the unit was immediately available to burn a copy of my operating system software onto a DVD. I've not tried all the capabilities provide by this portable unit, but my quick review of the software control panel shows numerous capabilities including testing the drive, making a label/cover, erasing, formating, or copying a CD/DVD, backing up a hard drive or specific files, burning an image/video files to CD/DVD, burning audio to CD/DVD including MP3, making a bootable CD/DVD, and restoring files, just to mention a few of its capablities.

Strengths: Easy to use, usb connection
Weaknesses: A little bit noisy
Overall: I bought a Lite-on SHM-165P6SX external DVD burner from a local store. It is quite easy to install and use both software and hardware. I tested both CD and DVD burning, which work very well, and the speed is fast. I also like its outside style. An attached holder enables me to horizontally or vertically place it according to space available. But it would be better if the size could be smaller. I saw several negative comments about Lite-on DVD burner from other forums, but they are not the case for this product.
