Product Description

The Optiarc 20x S-ATA DVD multi writer open up new dimensions for flexible read and write functions. This high-performance DVD/CD-burner is able to read your DVDs at a speed of 16x and CDs at 48x. It also brings fascinating dynamics into play when writing your blank disks. Now it can even write DVD-R DL two layer meida at 12x, while reaching a speed of up to 20x for DVD +R and DVD-R. DVD +R9 and DVD +RWs are processed at 8x and DVD-RWs at 6x. And DVD-RAM can be recorded with up to 12x DVD speed. So how fast can it burn my CDs, you might ask? Even here, with speeds of 48x (CD-R) and 32x (CD-RW), it's at the top of its class.

This drive came installed in my last computer purchase, a little over two years ago. For most of the last year, I've had nothing but trouble... it started last September with being unable to play a DVD. I thought maybe I needed to update software or drivers or whatever, but that didn't help. It didn't seem like that big a deal, because I very rarely watch DVDs on the computer, so I let it go. Next, it stopped burning CDs or DVDs. I let that go because I could use my laptop to do what little burning I do, and I purchased an external hard drive to do backups. Now within the last week, it's stopped reading CDs (haven't had a chance to try a DVD). Well, I take that back--it reads the CD, lets me know it's there, but it won't import them to the computer (various errors have popped up) and, after I try, the drive "disappears", Windows doesn't know it's there until I reboot. So to summarize, don't waste your money on this drive. It should last longer than a year, and if you were to have the same troubles I have, you'd be out more money than just the cost of the drive if you count numerous CDs and DVDs ruined while attempting to burn, and the external hard drive I needed when I couldn't burn DVDs to backup important files.
