- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2010Purchased this Liteon 24x to be added to the computer Iam using now. Very easy setup, fit perfectly. It copies better than the one I have in my HP now. That one is an HP Dvd and The Liteon runs circles around the HP dvd. I love this so much I ordered 5 more for Xmas presents for my son's and daughters. This is an excellent dvd and so far no problems, except 1, I'am not use to getting done so fast recording items. Now I have to be by the computer to get the next item recorded. If you have a chance, buy this item. No cons on this, all PROS>
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2011I've never bought a lite-on drive before but seeing as it was so cheap I might as well try it and with the great reviews it was another reason to get it.
Soon after purchasing the item I told my friend who has been helping me build my new rig and told me that I shouldn't have and lite-on drives break all the time.
Even with that I stuck it out and got it fast and installed it.
As of right now the drive works great and for the price it is definitely worth the money but I'll still watch out to make sure it doesn't break on me because you can tell it's cheap. Overall it's been great and no problems.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2012I got this because I stupidly overlooked something on a purchase.
I decided to build a new pc, and went about ordering parts I needed. I failed to notice the motherboard came without any IDE headers on it. I didn't want to buy an adapter, so I did away with my old IDE optical drive (stuck it in a box) and ordered this.
I've used Liteon in the past, the drive I replaced was actually a Liteon as well and was still working. This one works fine, burns fine, honestly works as well as the more expensive drives I've tried. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2011This is by far the worst drive i have ever purchased,errors every 3 burns even at lowest write speed....Buyer Beware!!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2010EDIT: This drive has stopped working. It was the first Lite-On drive I've ever had that stopped working and am unsure if I'll go through the hassle of RMA-ing it. I'd still recommend Lite-On as a brand, but maybe not this particular drive. LG also makes very reliable drives and I still have yet to see one of them fail.
I've always loved Lite-On drives, and this one is no different. It's fast and reliable like always!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2010This burner is fast! I was getting write errors and wasted four discs before I realized this burner was faster than my computer could handle ( I have an ollllld Dell ), so I set the burn speed to just under the max for my discs and it works like a charm. It is noisy, though, but I didn't buy it to play DVDs so anyone who complains about that-----suck it up! This thing performs.
UPDATE:
Well, just over a year and hundreds of burns and this thing self destructed. The belt for the drawer snapped and it froze. Went though the windows toubleshooter and tied to update the driver to no avail. When I restarted the computer the unit's light came on and never went out. Had to pop it out and put in an old e-machine drive.
Not really going to say anything disparaging based on one unit, but I would recommend an extended warranty just in case. I am, however, lowering my rating based on long term performance.
Update 2: All of you desparaging idiots that thought I was complaining about the unit you obviously didn't really read the review. My comparison was with an old emachine drive that was quite a few years old and I recommended an extended warranty if at all possible. PS I replaced the belt and still frozen.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2011Hi,
I got this drive expecting it to perform very well, certainly better than my three year old Optiarc AD-7200S. Well, it doesn't. I ran the included Nero DiscSpeed 5 software on both drives in the same machine. The old drive spanked it across the board in read speed.
Here are the read results:
_________Liteon__Optiarc
Average__3.95x___7.41x
Start____2.63x___4.92x
End_____5.00x___9.39x
Both tests were done with the same SQL Server 2008 DVD from Microsoft.
Sadly the old Optiarc also out performs it burning DVDs.
If you're looking for really fast DVD drive then you may want to keep looking.
Regards,
John
- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2011I bought this drive about two weeks ago and so far it has worked great.
I've burned about 10 DVD+R DL and DVD-R and haven't had any problems so far.
The box came with a SATA data cable, four screws and a disc with Nero 9 Essentials.
The installation was easy and the only thing that was not included in the box and that I had to buy was a SATA power adapter to connect to my PC power supply.
The unit I received was made in July 2011 and its the "B" version.
One last note: When you buy this item order it from Amazon, they have an amazing customer service. I can tell this because the guys at USPS had lost the first package I ordered and then I contacted Amazon Customer Service and they sent me another one right away with one day shipping.
