Excellent drive.
(4 out of 5) by N. Holloman on Aug 26, 2008 (Leeward, Hawaii)Positives;
1. The default bezel for the drive is black unlike product picture. Comes with beige bezel but you have to attach it yourself.
2. It comes with a red sata cable, not L shaped.
3. It burns dvd single layer quietly compared to last liteon burner.
Negative;
1. Comes with really crappy Nero Essentials software that makes you purchase mpeg encoder/decoder.
2. Nero software sucks to begin with.
3. The manual for the drive is for IDE version and not SATA version.

SATA Drive
(5 out of 5) by OXCOM on Jul 19, 2007 (Oxford, MI United States)What can I say, it works. I plugged it in, and it was recognized at boot up, and works like a traditional IDE. I have no idea if it's faster, smarter, or whatever, but it freed up an IDE port for an additional hard drive.
Bad firmware?
(1 out of 5) by J. Hogg on Aug 2, 2009 (FL, USA)Not recognized by XP Pro SP2 as anything other than a "CD-Rom drive". A firmware upgrade (flash program?) from Lite-on, did nothing.
It will read media, but won't burn anything.

Short Lived
(1 out of 5) by Jeffery Breen on Nov 28, 2008 (Central Coast, Ca.)Amazon had sold this item for $33.27 and it died after 2 months. No warranty,so I was out of luck.
Just what I wanted
(5 out of 5) by Aaron Flocker on Nov 20, 2008This drive is excellent in my opinion it is fast reliable easty to install. Comes with two face plates Black and the one displayed in the photo on the page. The drive is quiet unlike some others while burning. I however can not comment on anything at max speed as i never use max.
