This CD R/RW drive sounds better than the Samsung player that came with my HP Pavilion 793. Clearer, crisper. Installing was a snap. Pulled the old one, changed jumpers on the new one to match the old one, installed the new one. That was it. I did not use the software that came with it, nor did I install a new driver. Using MusicMatch 8.2 for playing, ripping music and burning CDs.

I previously replaced the original equipment DVD burner in this computer with a Memorex drive (DVD+/-RW True8XI) and I love that, too.

Note - Both still great 15 months later.

This was very eay to install. I replaced my old CD Rom with this one. Easy software. Overall good product

I didn't give this a 5 star only because we have had it only for a week. So far this product hasn't let us down! It is very quick and effecient. I hope it lasts long, only because my husband is going on a burning spree! He says it is one of the best ones he has had!

So far I'm quite pleased with the performance of the Memorex CDRW drive. I've had some trouble with the supporting software (Nero) but I'll probably be able to work it out. One other problem is that the drive model is new enough that some other software does not support it, for example, Comcast Rhapsody does is not compatible with this drive. I've been able to patch together a "work around" this problem however.

This is a high quality burner which replaced a 7+ old HP that finally went out on me. I love the fact that it came with a black & a beige faceplate to match the color of my CPU. It was very easy to install if you are experienced w/ computer installations. Still, I don't think a novice would have a problem with the instructions. The Nero burner software is very simple to use & has other programs like for digital picture storage, even one where you can edit mp3 tracks. I'm very happy with the purchase.
