Great burner, No problems, Quiet.
Strengths: Good price, works great, fast burning on all supported formats, and quiet.
Weakness: Does not support DVD-RAM, but a non-issue for most users.
This drive has performed great since day one. I have not had any coasters due to the drive. I have however ran into some issues using older software. These drives are well supported with firmware updates. They also are highly compatible with many disc formats. I have had the best luck using (Memorex 16x dvd-r) discs, which worked out great because you can find them just about anywhere for a great...

One of the best drives I have!
Strengths: Excellent quality, very good speed, never have any problems with it, burned over 50 DVD, 20 CD, I even overburned DVD and CD more than original capacity with no errors.
Weakness: none so far
Bought in March, 2005 with $52 from NewEgg, it is excellent in everything, I use it mostly with Nero, I had to overburn a few DVD's and CD's and I was very happy that it worked with no errors. I would recommend it over any other, it is the best for the money!

Strengths: Buffer underrun protection keeps the dvds from turning into coasters so far. Pretty quiet and burns TYG02 at 12x fine.
Weakness: If your computer isn't up to speed or your harddrives are slightly congested, it'll go into buffer underrun protection a lot and make the DVD's burn take up to 30 minutes.
Cooling my computer down a bit helped the drive speed back up so it take anywhere from 6 minutes to 20 minutes to burn instead of 30 minutes now. It used to have a problem of burning cds (every cd turned into a coaster..) now those burn fine too. Make sure you get the firmware update, it fixes little quirks and improves speed and allows you to use DVD/CD testing programs on it (nero cd speed) to...

Strengths: Works as advertised. Seems as fast as expected.
Weakness: Sometimes, and I haven't figured out why, it won't open/release the media in the driver. I have to shut the drive off, then on, and then it will release it. But it is only a minor annoyance now.
It was easy to install (I built my own external drive using a Bytecc case with usb & firewire). And it just works on both my Mac & Windows machines. So now I just unplug either the firewire or usb cable and move it to my other machine and it is up and running. I like it.

Strengths: Very Fast, Clean Burning, Accepts mosts media , not noisy
Weakness: None that i can see so far
Before i had this dvd/cd burner i had generic one that would write a coaster (failed disk) every 2 or 3 disks. With this NEC burner every thing goes fast and i have yet to burn a bad disk. I have copied cds and dvds as well as used it for backup of data and either way it does nice job. I would recommend this drive to anyone , especially becuase of the great prices it can be found for online. pete
