Excellent burner
I've had this product for about a year. I've burned close to 200 single layer DVDs, about 50 double layer DVDs, and I have no idea how many CDs. I've had maybe a handful bad disks. I also have an older Plextor in this machine and a Samsung SATA in my new box. I would recommend any of those 3, if have had few bad burns.
I have found that programs that let you increase the laser strength for the burn are helpful on creating disks to read in shoddy DVD players or in car CD players that can be fickle.

Good deal if you don't need black bezel
Black bezel had a molding problem (mfg/design issue) and would not mate to the drive without breaking out the dremel and milling out a hole.
If the stock bezel matches your decor...this is a good deal.

best purchase choice
This burner is the perfect choice when it comes to someone with a limited income. For a cheap price it offers more than any other burner in its price range. Honestly you get what you pay for when it comes to speed, but it gets the job done for a fraction of the cost that others pay!
