Noisy as heck. I bought this drive due to the reviews that said whisper quiet. Mine sounds like it has a turbo in it. Hope it is reliable. Very disappointed with the noise.

I had this drive for about 2 weeks and never could burn a DVD. I emailed Lite On and they said to update the firmware. I already had the latest firmware. Nothing they suggested worked so I sent it back. Just buy a Plextor. They are the best.

used to replace a failed OEM Philips drive in my dimension 4700; a whisper quiet drive at a great price, burns much faster than any other drives I have used- no complaints here at all.

I purchased a lite-on 16x from walmart and it started to fail before the warranty was up. Instead of going through all kinds of red tape, I came here and ordered two of these. They work really well. They are whisper quiet. You can't here them spinning and to me that is excellent. Because all of the others that I bought you could here run. I give this one 5 stars and highly reccomend it.

What You Should Know

What Is The Difference Between DVD-R and DVD+R?
A DVD-R and DVD+R share similarities in that they are both write-once formats, they both have single-sided capacities of 4.7GB, they both need finalization after recording for broad playback, and both can be used for either data storage or video applications. The major difference is that they are not interchangeable when it comes to recording. Because each format writes information to its corresponding disc differently, DVD+R discs must be recorded by a +R drive or video recorder, and DVD-R discs must be recorded by a -R drive or video recorder. Once recorded, they share similar playback compatibility.
