Rating:  - Nothing but trouble
This drive, for the price, seems to be a perfect answer when upgrading or replacing your DVD writer. Don't be fooled. I'm on my second drive (a replacement for the first, which ceased to function within days) and already it's performance is coming apart at the seams.

I'm really reviewing because another reviewer scared me with: "It takes about an hour to burn 4.5GB of data at 16x speed, if you buy 4X DVD±R's, you're looking at 4-8 hours per disc." --- on Linux I've just written a 4.5GB disc using 4x in just under half an hour. Half that time was wastefully spent creating an image file on the hard disk. I believe it is possible to send the data straight to the DVD drive, which would bring the time down further.
