Got two of these units as both my wife's and Son's desktop PC's DVD/CD drives were shot. The drives came as an OEM in a brown box, without a SATA cable or any screws - the latter is annoying if you don't have a screwless case, but fortunately as I was replacing drives I could re-use the old screws and cable which were in good condition. The drives fitted very easily, can work horizontally or vertically, and have a standard 150 MByte/s SATA-1 interface, with an internal cache of 2MB.
Its a modern SATA/Serial-ATA power-plug drive, so you may need a SATA power converter as well for the PSU's power cable. There wasn't an install guide or manual or Nero/LightScribe writing software supplied [although you can get the manuals, basic LightScribe software and the latest Windows firmware upggrade free on the internet, and Windows can do basic DVD/CD writing these days]. For disk burning I already had Nero Multimedia Suite 11 in any case, although its main rival, CyberLink Media Suite is also highly rated. Although this drives capable, I rarely use LightScribe [which laser burns cool labels onto the top of DVD/CDs], as the special LightScribe capable disks and burning software are more expensive than a felt pen.
This optical drive writes DVD-R & DVD+R's at a blistering 24x and DVD-+RW at 6-8x, with CDR at 48x and CDRW at 42x. Rewritable DVD-RAM writes at 12x, although it can't take a DVD-RAM in a caddy. So it's very fast, and because of that it can sound a bit like a helicopter whirring up, and it is noticeably louder than our CPU fan when idling [but this means it does transfer data noticably faster than our old DVD drive as well]. If you want basic burning software, screws and a cable go for a retail version. Otherwise this OEM version offers a fast, solidly made Sony Optiarc drive, and at under twenty pounds is great value [so 5*]. One year on, both DVD drives are working perfectly.

Nice product in good condition, pity there are no leads or fixing included. Worse part was next day delivery advertised as 1pm Saturday actually arrived at 5.30 on Monday, suspect not Amazons fault as carrier collected it on time, it then seemed to remain in Birmingham, poor service from DPD

Okay
Its is okay it's cheap so what can you expect it's makes so much noise when a disc is in there. But it's cheap so I can't expect it to be perfect otherwise pretty good.
