  Strengths: Dual format, easy install, buy some cheap hd dvds, you won't be disappointed

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this refurb, so I wasn't really expecting software and I know nothing about the bundled software. I am running this drive on a Vista 64 Pentium dual-core 4 GB of RAM. I have a Asus EAH3450 graphics card with HDMI out to my 42 inch LCD HDTV. Using Arcsoft Totalmedia Theater 3 in Windows Media Center it works perfect. This drive plays everything with no problems- DVD, Blu Ray, HD DVD. I haven't tried burning DVD or CD or using the lightscribe feature yet, but I'm sure it will work.

  Strengths: Reads all formats including Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.

  Weaknesses:None.

  Overall Evaluation: Excellent drive for the price. After discovering my laptop could display 1080P video I began a search for a means to play the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD movies while on business trips. I came upon this drive and coupling it with a Vantec Nexstar DX external enclosure, I was able to play movies from the drive through the USB port. I have tested several discs in all formats with a spedific focus on Blu-Ray and HD-DVD using Corel's WinDVD 9. I have been nothing less than absolutely pleased. The Vantec enclosure I mentioned is a 5.25-inch, SATA drive enclosure with a USB 2.0 interface. The combination of the two, drive and enclosure, make for an excellent, portable device that can bring HD to any machine capable of displaying the media.

  Strengths: price,quality,and supports both hd formats!matches my other lg lightscribe dvd burner;except it`s a little shinier on the bottom side than the top of the faceplate.

  Weaknesses:none so far!just got it and hooked up last night!plays regular dvd`s fine.didn`t have a hd or blu-ray to try it out.i wish that it burned blu-ray`s for the price like it`s big brother.

  Overall Evaluation: like i wrote i just installed last night;but without the included software as i already have nero,and anydvd;which both should have blu-ray software.i hear that the included software is okay,but i want full audio an not just stereo as the power dvd provides.i`ll comment back later after i try a blu-ray tonight!my friend has one as does my brother, which neither one of them have a blu-ray whatsoever(can some say maybe a couple of free blu-ray movies!)i have a intel q6600 2.4 liquid cooled to 3.4ghz,2 8800 gtx evga graphics cards in sli,2 gigs of corsair pc10000(1250 speed),2 western digital 150gig raptor x`s in raid 0,680i evga mainboard with northbridge and sothbrigde,also liquid cooled(danger den)stuff,24 inch gateway hdcp ready monitor;and all kinds of cool stuff(i.e. logitech orbitcam,tv tuners,mics,card readers,klishp 5.1 speaker system;etc.,etc.!hope this rig works well!imagine what a porno machine this will be in hd!

  Strengths: Priced right, quiet, works well. SATA cable included, along with 4 mounting screws and a SATA power adapter for standard power plug.

  Weaknesses:Included Cyberlink PowerDVD software is typical minimal stuff - get the full retail Deluxe HD version.

  Overall Evaluation: Use PowerDVD 7 Deluxe HD. My WinXP Media Center Edition 2005 HTPC(Home Theater Personal Computer) is connected via HDMI on HDCP-compliant ATI card in PC. Get Slysoft's AnyDVD software if your hardware chain is not fully HDCP compliant.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: This combo drive is pretty fast and installed without a hitch. Comes with everything you need including SATA cables and power. Lightscribe is cool.

  Weaknesses:The included software SUCKS. They toss in a weak version of PowerDVD which they constantly prompt you to upgrade. That means paying $100 more for full functionality.

  Overall Evaluation: I was hesitant to buy this drive on account of the HD-war that was going on, but the thought of playing both Blu-ray AND HD-DVD without spending $700 on a standalone was appealing. So I gave in and this little drive has surprised me. From a hardware perspective, this drive rocks. It has everything I need for my HTPC to do its thing. It even includes an impressive suite that helps upgrade the firmware automatically (which Vista hates BTW). From a software standpoint, PowerDVD just pisses me off. The MPAA and ACSS people have made it extremely hard for consumers to use their purchased media by manipulating PowerDVD into a crippled mess of software. The only thing I can say is, at least it's the software's fault (which can be upgraded or changed) and not a hardware fault. On the up and up, I love it.
