I love Liteon drives and have done since god was a lad. I've never had any problems with them ever. I've used them with all the major software and and I currently use it with Imgburn; a super program with a small system footprint, easy to use with great tutorials on their forum, Imgburn will pretty much burn any type of disc and best of all its free. I also sometimes use CDburnerXP another good program, and DVDShrink, a god-like program if ever there was one.Ok, on to Nero... it saddens me to see a once great program fat and bloated. if you ever get the Nero Suite it will install upwards of 21 programs :-0.I got Nero Essentials; a cut down version of the Nero Suite,but for most people Nero Essentials is more than adequate. I installed it to check out the TagLabel feature that; I found out later, can only be used on DVD Discs. TagLabel is a bit like Lightscribe only it doesn't need a special disc like the Lightscribe does, it can only do this in monotone not colours. Personally I find both of these features a waste of time and nothing more than a novelty, you will soon get bored of waiting for the image to be burned to the disc. So, unless you are an amazingly patient person don't bother with lightscribe or TagLabels, get a descent printer that can print full colour to a printable disc and get funky with designs.The liteon is both quiet and fast, I run an i7 system and treasure a noiseless PC; well as little noise as is possible. I have invested in the best silent running products and my PC is very quiet, I had made a poor choice recently in a Sony DRU-875s, these are very noisy drives so the addition of the Liteon product was a good choice and I bought it for its abilities to burn quickly without errors and run quietly etc. Since using Liteons I have only ever had one coaster and that was my fault.Grade A product. PS... this is a genuine Liteon not a rebadged Optaric or other brand.

Works perfectly!I've been building my own PCs since around 1990 so I've seen the CD drive ( later DVD drives ) come and go from computers. Back around 2000 you would see a PC without one, no with the USB storage and software downloads, CD drives are slowly going the way of the floppy drive.So it was I suddenly found myself with no free internal SATA slots on my mother board but in need of a DVD reader to archive some old backups and backup some DVDs and CDs to our media NAS systems. I thought I'd buy a cheap throwaway external USB drive, not expecting much but something that'll do the job for a month or two and then end up in the cupboard.I was pleasantly surprised to find how useful this will device is.It's about the size of a disc, about half an inch in depth. Power simply from the bog standard USB ports. I used it to rip my original bought CDs and DVDs to media files for storage, it worked perfectly on Windows 10 and Mac using various pieces of software. I even used it perfectly to erase some old rewritable DVDs I'd not used in almost 10 years and it worked perfectly! It's such a great little size to put in a bag if needed or just in a drawer for use when needed.A word of advice, use it with a double-ended power USB lead where you plug it into 2 USB sockets at the same time on the PC, this ensures there's plenty of juice to drive the drive motor, trying to run it with a single USB socket might cause issues. I've powered through sockets on USB HUB too to ensure there's enough juice and it's worked perfectly so far.

i started my first ever pc build in dec last year and completed it in a few days. all that was missing was an internal dvd, however i did pick up a new usb dvd player which done he job but i still wanted to get an internal one. and i am so glad i choosed this one, i went for price really as all dvd players are the same 99% of the time. i got the bare bones one which didnt come with screws or a sata cable but i had them anyway. this works perfcetly and i love it.however a few things for newbies to note.....A) if you take out the sata cable from your hard drive (thats plugged into port 1 for example) and put it in the dvd player then put a NEW sata cable in your hard drive and plug that back into port 1,the pc MAY boot up saying "cant find operating system" even tho its plugged into the same sata port as it was. something to do with the sata cable? maybe. but i switched back to the original cable and it worked.....wonder what happens when it breaks?B) This dvd player did ot include any CD but it was a plug and play product. its like plugging in a keyboard to the pc, it just works. same here with this.I also like to add that my one DOESNT make any loud noises at all, its quiet and no louder then my pc fan spinning on my GTX 1050 graphic card, in fact the card is louder when its downloading a game from steam. I think this is a great dvd player and can recommend if your replacing an old knackered one, or building your first ever pc from scratch like i have.

My last DVD Writer also a Lite-On after a number of years finally stopped reading the disc, so knowing how long they can last for i find the Lite-On DVD Writer very reliable, to use, as simple as popping in a disc and click go that is once you've connected it, the sound level while writing can be heard if your in a quiet room but compared to many other DVD writers and I've tried a few over the years i would say this DVD Drive beats them, regardless which type of disc you throw at it, it writes on them without a glitch and as it's SATA it takes full advantage of the maximum data transfer meaning it's quick at burning but also quiet one step from silent i find. Now the big question, value for money,many will search for the cheapest drive to burn their data but for £12.00 i think i paid is a bargain, sure you could buy cheaper but what quality of finish will you get and the noise level from it, this DVD Writer as far as I'm concerned is there at the top with some of the best drive that would cost far more then £12.00 but, what makes this drive also stand out is once you've connected it, it really is click and go no drivers really needed, it's that simple, absolute value for money and should i need extra drives or a replacement drive, it will be Lite-On as I'm one person that stays with a trusted product.

If like me you don't have a built in optical disc drive for your CDs/DVDs but still want to use them on your laptop or computer you have no choice but to hunt for different type of file that can be loaded by your device OR buy a wired external disc drive such as this.Yes, discs are becoming dated and in the day and age of Netflix and Spotify who needs this archaic technology? Well to be quite honest there most certainly will be times where you'll benefit from being able to use a drive so it's better to be able to rather than be stuck without the option when the time of need arises.This device is relatively cheap and I picked it up at a local retailer for approximately €30 which isn't madexpensive compared to some which can run up to €50.It's a solid functional device and does exactly as needed.Connects by an included cable, MINI (not standard micro) USB plugs into the optical drive while the other end connects via a standard USB port into your laptop or computer.Great for burning CDs or just playing your dust covered DVDs.ONLY ISSUE: drive will not open unless connected to a power source so be warned it can and will hold onto your disc unless you can connect it to power, provide it with energy to strt up then press the open button.

A very light, but fairly solid unit - not as flimsy as I had imagined. One thing to note is that the USB cable is not permanently attached, as it is in the black version - despite careful perusal of the sales-text at the time of buying, I was reasonably sure there was no difference between white & black models - there is! - so, a bit misleading perhaps... Nevertheless, I'm quite happy with this little DVD-writer. An added bonus was that it would also read my one & only DVD-RAM disk, something none of the others writers I have bought would do.Incidently, the quoting of some incredible MTBF figure is meaningless when it comes to DVD-writers. I'm on my fourth or fifth writers now,and although all still are mechanically sound, the lasers are all but clapped out on the others. So take that MTBF number with a pinch of salt!Edit: Just got another one of these to complement a new mini-PC build, and was a bit pee'ed-off by the fact that what I had paid a premium for, I didn't recieve - namely, the model with the integral mini-USB cable. I got the same one I already had, the one with a separate USB cable. So, though it loses a star, it is still a great DVD writer. The first one I bought is still working perfectly 150+ DVD-writes later.

This devise arrived on a Sunday afternoon and a day earlier than the time period advised by amazon which isn't a bad thing but doesn't help if one has to plan to be at home to receive the product. The product has so far been good, it does what it says on the tin. My previous burner was a very similar product and was about a year old when it started showing verification errors after burning so I guess the laser was knackered. For some reason or other, the lasers on DVD burners don't last long. This appears to be a widespread problem irrespective of make. l'm not sure why manufacturers can't juice them up a little to make them last which would be more environmentally friendly.There's no information as to which ones are best for longevity. However for about £16 for this product it's not a big problem, I'll just have to keep replacing them. I do at least 2 back ups for everything because you can't fully rely upon the disks. I've had some delaminate. Others have fallen out of their cases, hit metal and got scratched which affected the data. I'm not expecting this burner to last beyond a year hence the reason for 4 stars.

A pretty nice little drive, seems to read and write fairly quickly, but I haven't tested extensively. I bought the internal SATA version. My only complaint with it as of now it the noise. I have a gaming rig with 4 fans all on around 1300 RPM, and this drive is still the loudest thing in my PC when it's booting. It's also very loud when reading or writing, but thankfully, it's silent when it's not active, thank God. Even when they're a disc in it, as long as it isn't being accessed, the drive will remain silent.Another very minor complaint is that the tray doesn't seem to like being pushed. If you push it hard enough, it will eventually go in, but it doesn't feel right and makes the tray curve a little.This is not improved by the fact that the button to close the tray properly is very hard to reach under the tray, or at least in the way the drive is positioned in my PC case.Other than those little complaints, still a good drive, pleased with it for the price.

Neat slim little DVD RW by Liteon. The case is white plastic and feels rather flimsy as does the drawer mechanism for loading the DVDs. It is USB2 so simply plug in and it works straight out of the box. It reads DVDs and CDs fine. I have not yet tried to write to a CR R or DVD R. It is quite noisy starting up but once going settles to a gentle hum. It can be also plugged directly into the USB slot of most modern TVs to play DVDs. The DVR RW is accompanied by a trial version of Nero 12 software but this only works with Windows machines. The DVD RW will work with Apple iMacs (and Macbooks which have a USB2/3 port) but you will need an adapter for USB C. Apple IOS aleardy contains the necessary software to play and burn CDs and DVDs.Overall it seems quite a good productUpdate - ve now tested the DVD Writer - a 600MB MP3 film took about five minutes to write to DVR, verify and finish using a Verbatim DVD -R disc and produced an excellent quality copy.

I bought this to replace a (very) old Samsung burner that wasn't working property. While this device works perfectly fine, it felt slower than the faulty drive it was replacing.After a while of using it and feeling it was slow, I ended up buying some compressed air and dismantling the ancient Samsung drive and giving it a thorough clean. On putting it back together, I discovered it was running great and haven't had a spot of bother since. However, by using both drives in tandem it confirmed my hunch that the new drive didn't have a consistently high read rate to match the Samsung.This isn't a major problem as I only use drives for archival purposes these days, or for some game that hasn't appeared on GoG yet,and so far the drive is working like a charm - I've been using it on and off for the past 8 months without issue. I'd be curious to see if it lasts as long as the drive it was supposed to replace!

Using a SATA to USB adapter on a couple of laptops, I tried one of these with -R and +R media of several types with no issues at all. Discs burned and verified flawlessly. In operation, the drive was not as loud as many I've used and stayed pretty cool.I have had drives over the years that would struggle to read certain discs, but this one was happy reading some old DVD-Rs that were burned on a (2002) DVD Video Recorder. This didn't slow to a crawl or make worrying noises like some previous drives did with the same discs, which left me confident that I'd be able to read most of my old media on it.I hadn't noticed it in the specs,but the label on the base has the M-Disc logo so it's a bonus that it's able to use those longer-life media too.I'll probably pick up another of these drives to have on standby.

What more can I say. My iMac DVD drive had started to play up and then wouldn't play anything, CD or DVD. It would cost me more than this to get someone merely to look at it so when I plugged it in, inserted a DVD and it played straight off the bat I was chuffed. The tray is quite a flimsy unit so you do have to be careful with it and sometimes you have to disconnect the lead from the back in order to get the eject button to function but I suspect that is a problem with the software I was using rather than the unit. Great little piece of kit and at a great price too. Will also work on my Macbook Air so a winner all round.The USB is not hard wired into the back of the unit but I think this makes it better for chucking in a bag if you are on the move as it won't bend or break the power cable. Recommended!

One of those unexpectedly good moments, where I realised I didn't have a cover for the disc drive like on my old pc as part of the pc case, but the front of it matched up with the front of the case anyway; most of the fronts of disc drives are black these days, or at least the ones in the pictures on this page. In all seriousness, it's a disc-drive, which in my case, has seen light to medium use, and works as well as you could expect any brand new disc drive to work. Doesn't look like anything special, but watching people's brains get blown out in a Tarantino film (as a result of this disc drive being installed correctly) makes the satisfaction a lot better. Also plays other films.

From previous experience with building PC's I know only too well how much noise these things can make. They can be louder than anything else in the room! This is why I paid a little bit more than the slightly cheaper models available. I wanted something that would hopefully be a little quieter than a previous purchase.After installing this into the PC and switching it on, I was so pleased to hear that this is not just a little quieter than my previous purchase but it is a lot quieter. It is probably the quietest CD/DVD drive I've had.I have only burnt one DVD disc so far but it's also been used to read several discs and so far I am more than happy with my purchase.

Never had a Liteon drive previously.The first thing to note is this a BARE drive i.e. no cables, no instructions ( not that you need any with SATA ) not even any fixing screws. This is reflected in the price.Very good value & quiet in operation.Being a SATA drive cabling up is easy, just connect the power and data cables ( just over £1 for both from AMAZON ) and away you go. No jumpers to set up for slave, master of cable select, even my wife could do it if she could figure how to get the case panel off the PC :-)At 18 max speed it's not the fastest drive but at the price it does it's job well.Delivery was quick and packaged well.
