I bought this to replace the drive in my Acer Aspire E1-570 laptop, having measured the thickness of the existing drive to be sure I needed the 9.5 mm size. The LiteOn drive arrived in a cardboard box labelled "bulk" with no instructions or data, just the drive and foam packing.I removed the single screw which held my drive from the back of the laptop and pulled the drive out. I pushed the new drive in. It went in quite far at the front as the bezel is different. I couldn't get the drive to be seen by Windows 10. The reason was that even though it seemed plugged in it was not in far enough due to the bezel. So here is what I had to do:The liteOn drive was closed.

I purchased the Liteon IHAS324-32 to replace the drive in my DELL inspiron 530. This original drive had given problems almost from Day 1, it would write DVD's but always had problems with CD's. It was easier to buy a new drive rather than deal with DELL and have to parcel up the PC and return it.Fitting the new drive was simplicity itself. Remove two screws to open the case, then remove two screws that held in the old drive. Disconnect the two connectors and pull out the old drive. Replacing the new drive was just a reversal of this procedure. Less than a quarter of an hour later and the new drive was up and running. It worked perfectly and is so much faster than the old drive.I used the standard (free)

I purchased this DVD-RW to replace an old LG writer in an external case , I am using windows 10 pro with a Intel 3770 chip with an Asrock motherboard . Apparently there are windows 10 problems with external writers . I am running it via a USB 3 external hub. I have found in the past that the external DVD-RW connected via usb hub kept disconnecting , did a bit of research on this and found one solution was too untick the power saving option in the properties of the USB hub in windows , since I have done this the problems have ceased to exist . As for the drive I have found it to be very good fast efficient and have had no problems with it . I think in modern computers optical drives are ceasing to be compulsory to a modern build ,

Bought this because of the price and was sick of using USB's predominantly as my main way to transfer data. I bought the "24x internal kit" as I wanted to mount it inside my case out of the way, rather than having the USB version cluttering up my work space.The box contains:1 x DVD drive1 x Warranty Information1 x Trial version of Nero12 Essentials1 x Quick start guideIt's good to note that you will need to supply your own SATA cable as one is not supplied. In operation the drive operates as it should, and no problems have been observed. Installation is simple, and inexperienced users can follow the straight forward, easy to understand quick start guide.Recommended!

What a fantastic product, first off this product works on a mac, which I was uncertain about before purchasing. I bought this after getting a newer model of the MacBook Pro which now have completely gotten rid of a disc drive, I was in need of reading discs from my archived collection so required a way to read discs.Initially I thought about getting an apple portable disc drive, which are about £79, then I came across this product. It reads, it writes and even plays DVDs, and all through a connection on the USB, no external power connecter necessary.

This DVD Drive is internal. Some reviews have had me puzzled. I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-C .I simply swapped it for my broken Toshiba Drive with just 2 minor changes. You can spot the difference and simply change .I ordered the drive last night, got it this morning and after 15 minutes it was working.Old one out, new one in - restart computer and it was found right away. tried a DVD and there ir was - fixed at half the cost of a new Toshiba DVD optical drive.Very pleased with this buy. Glad I did not go and buy a USB external drive.

I ordered this dvd drive on the 1st june and it turns up on the2nd june, how quick is that, ;-)It only took me a few mins to install this drive as i already had the cables and screws from previous drive, the thing that took the longest was getting the dvd player to run on auto run , but i soon got that fixed.it runs quite the tray buttons works without fault and yes it works only with sata cable, and a power connector from power supply the L shaped plug.over all im very very very pleased with my purchase ;-)

Light and compact, this Optical drive is both cheap but good quality. Its the perfect cd drive for portability as its easy to fit in a bag with the laptop. Setup is as simple as plugging in the USB. I don’t find it any noisier than in built cd drives either. It will burn both CD’s and DVD’s and of course will play them as well. Write speed is very good, no problems there and playback is fine without a hitch. This is about as slim as an optical drive gets, so if you’re new laptop doesn’t have one, get this.

This is my first SATA DVD writer. I needed to purchase a power converter lead for my 7 year old PC, but the drive was supplied with a good quality SATA lead. It took about 15 minutes to remove the old (failed) drive and a few minutes extra to install the NERO software that was bundled with it. Win XP recognised the drive on boot up and all working fine. Have had several drives over the years and this is as good as other drives (LG and Sony) I've used, although slightly quieter. Happy with my purchase.

I bought this Drive for a new build, havent installed anything from the disc it came with, Plugged it in to my sata ports, loaded Fresh install of windows 7 from the word go its been awesome. Rip and write speeds have been good. Recently updated the drivers from Liteon as I found that certain CD's wont read with this drive, Cant complain though as 99.9% of cd collection was fine so probably the format which the discs have been written. So overall excellent.

This is the cheapest DVD RW I could find. Despite the low price, it does the same job that a top off the range optical drive would do for four times the price. I've used this drive now in three home builds and not had any problems.You can configure Windows Media Player to play DVDs, but I've been using MPC-HC for years now.

Cheap but good brand, have had liteon before , same one or similar and it lasted 4 years of continuous use, reading and burning media. I have had dear ones before and got the same time out them so I personally wouldnt get a dear version. And as cheaper dvd reader writers go this is one of the best if not thee best brand.

It's hard to get excited about a DVD-RW drive these days.This one does everything quietly and efficiently without worrying whether or not it will work at all.Perfect if you've ditched optical drives from your PC, it can live in a drawer out of the way until you need it, then it's just a case of plug-and-play.

Absolutely delighted with this. Purchased to rip CDs into iTunes. I had worn out the drive on my laptop due to excess use. This works like a dream, looks great, works fast, well packaged. Just great. As per other reviewers ... forget the alternative brands at £11 or 12. £17 or £18 for this? Worth every penny.
