Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Labels don't peel off and no Sharpies needed!

Weaknesses:Lightscribe in "Best" mode does take some time to "burn" label

Overall Evaluation: 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.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: lightscribe, fast DL burner, 16x reader and writer

Weaknesses:none

Overall Evaluation: 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.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Reads and writes all media their specs promise. Fast drive. Excellent price, and comes with Nero 6.

Weaknesses:None

Overall Evaluation: 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.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Excellent price, performance, features

Weaknesses:None really. Upgrading the LightScribe software improves label quality, at the risk of a longer write time.

Overall Evaluation: 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.
