ASUS DRW-24F1ST - DVD SATA SUPERMULTI Burner - SERIAL ATA - BLACK - OEM Bulk Drive

Easy plug and play install. ASUS provided a CD with Cyberlink Power to Go (Burn CD/DVD/Blu-ray, Erase Disc/Rip Audio/Virtual Drive), E-Green (optimize power usage), and Firmware update. You will have to purchase SATA power and Data cables. Make sure you plug the data cable into an upper tier Motherboard SATA connector. Will update review when features are used and firmware updated.

Product works flawlessly. A bit on the loud side, but thats just something you have to deal with when burning discs at high speeds, not a product flaw at all.

plays DVD&CDs well

dependable. Horribly noisy. But not often in use.

I would of liked to at least have it in a little more packing , but otherwise all is well

Easy to install

Fairly quiet easy to install and works fine. Good price from a quality company.

was purchased to replace a customers broken data connection on a SATA drive

I hope this short review helps in your shopping. I always depend or reviews for my decisions. I needed a custom built computer with a clean Windows install. My son is an IT person and said we could put one together in half an hour. So I ordered all the components and that is what we did...in about half an hour. This was the DVD reader/writer I bought. It seems to be as advertised. I have always had good success with ASUS. I have not burned many dvds yet but the reading and writing have both met my expectations. I would definitely buy it again.

Good has gears not a belt, I just dont like externals USB
