It's not better than I expected, because I expected it to work and it does. It is installed in and powered by an older computer and connected via an adaptor to a USB port on a more recent one, but still running XP pro. It was recognised immediately and both reads and writes on DVD-R disks. I probably won't be trying to write on any other kind. I have used the free CDburnerXP program (which actually works with CDs and DVDs and all operating systems up to Windows 10, I believe) to write, and VLC to play video and music. No problems. It comes with a disk with 3 optional programs, but no driver, which should not be needed. There is some "green" program which keeps track of its energy usage so I know how much planet I have saved.

Great Drive. Bought it just to install all the drivers for my new PC, did the job just fine. The sound was fine, infact it sounded quite smooth, then when it started installing from the CD the noise to pick up quite a bit... But seen as though you don't have it running the whole time, it's not a problem. I received more than expected, was expecting just an OEM disk drive in a cardboard box, but got a fully retailed box with hardware installation CD and manual. Mount screw were also included but didn't require them in my case; not a bad looking drive either, i have quite a high end gorgeous case and didn't want to spoil it by an awful disc drive but it looks quite nice in my case...I don't understand why the picture shows full black,

I have already reviewed this seller / product. However just in case : The product was purchased after inquiries on Amazon as to it's compatibility with my PC I had numerous replies which stated in the affirmative, thanks to all.Re the product it is fitted and working very well.The delivery time was quicker than the estimated time exceeding my expectations.I had a technical query and rang the seller AWD - IT, Richard in sales answered and was very polite and extremely helpful.During fitting I had another query re SATA connections in my PC this time I was helped by an IT technician showing the same courtesy and patience as Richard.All in all a good buying experience,

I don't need or use an optical drive on my system - however I needed to reinstall OS and my old, dust covered usb one drive has finally packed up.Ordered yesterday afternoon - arived this morning. Unplugged a spare sata2 to wire this in and it just worked flawlessly.Quick, quiet enough, works and super cheep.Already back in its bubble wrap till next timeI would give it 5 stars but it came with no leads, disk, instructions and what ever else its suposed to come with. Not really a problem as I don't need or want all that anyway but some people might....Anyway - sorted out all my problems with the minimum of fuss so that's good enough for me.Thanks.

Even with the correct drivers installed tho it only writes at 12x speed in all burning programs (6 tested inc the windows built in one) - But tbh i would have used this speed anyway. So i am not that bothered. but i sort of am too.Every now and then you hear it powering down. but you dont realised its on beforehand.its a little noisy when burning tbh, compared to others i have heard.but it looks very smart. and compliments my budget, yet cool trendy modern pc.happy with this product, and would recommend it too.i do like asus tho.its a brand i have never had a bad experience with.Asus/Acer/Zalman/Corsair/Gigabyte all my "safe" brands

Probably the only DVD Optical drive type you need to have on your computer.I did expect to have some DVD RAM software, but will format in Windows 10 anyway.Will only take single sided disks so double sided DVD Ran disks not usable.I am a fan of DVD RAM where a disk once formatted can be used like a removable hard drive wit 4.7 Gb capacity. rather than the WORM +R or -R disks.Good upgrade for systems supplied with only CD Rom drive or single format +R or -R DVD Drives.

So before Christmas I became the proud owner of a new PC which I built from parts. Slight error on my part that I didn't realise my old DVD drives were all IDE and my new motherboard wouldn't support it.Anxious that I wouldn't be able to install my OS, I looked on Amazon on my iPad and found this guy.Windows installed without a hitch, first thing I did was to get back onto YouTube and watch some cat videos - much cuter on my 24" monitor than on my iPad.

literally plug and play . My old cd rom died for no reason apart from my computer being out of action for a couple of years, so i needed a new one. I was expecting to pay a bit more than i actually did and being a sata drive i litterally opened up the comp took out the old one changed the cable as my old one wasnt sata and bingo away we went. for the money i paid it was an absolute steal it is quiet and quick and also looks good in my machine.

Technology has moved on, in spite of these drives being around as writers for 10 years and more.This one has the latest spec and will out perform those old bangers of the pre 2010 era ? Out with the old and in with the new ! The price of many electronic items has fallen in real terms over the years, and this is no exception. It is lightweight too, adds less weight to your office work station than the older heavier ones. A recommended buy....

Installed without any issues, it works and I can install programs and games. This is also one reason not to buy the Crapple iMac, it doesn't sport an optical drive. Im a PC person and I need a real computer, not some fisher price locked down system.The actual chassis is grey, I wish this could be a neutral black, the front panel is black though.Its speed is relatively fast compared to previous optical drives.

Our old disc drive was broken and we were looking for a replacement. I had a good look and decided on the Internal Samsung Sata DVD Re-Writer SH-224GB/BEBE 24X. What can I way but we took it out of the box took out our old drive and put in the new drive. Wow attached the cables and easy as that it works really well same noise as the other but it is a good name so glad we bought this not one regret

this unit is quick effective and fits almost all desktop op systems it is a fast burner and accurate it goes in to sleep mode when not being used so you don't notice it until you need it and when you need it fly's like the wind to your assistance so yes a solid burn and durable as well speed adjuster via software and responds precisely just the way I like it

Pretty much everything that you could want. Writes, reads, Re-writes. That, and the "asus" logo looking far nicer than the "samsung" logo was the only reason i chose this optical drive. Cant fault it really, doesnt make much of a racket when spinning up (no violent shaking), just the whirring that you'd expect. Looks as shown, fitted well.

I am very happy with the performance of this drive. I burn a loot of CDs both data and audio and I was doubtful that the high speed oof this burner might lead to errors but no. This was not the colour box version so I cannot comment on the green option or te free cloud storage. Overall, very pleased and would happily buy again.

I find these a great performer!* I had one already over some years - still going. Noise level is pretty good. Build quality is great. I tend to record at 16x mainly. This way, it does not get worked to its full limits generally.Highly recommended & exceptional rewriter for this price.Thank you. Have a shiny day Everyone*
