Just what I needed,

This review is from: LG Electronics GSA-H55NK DVD+/-RW Dl 20X Securdisk with Nero 12X RAM Software (Black) (Personal Computers)
We were looking for an IDE-based DVD-RW drive, and this one fit the bill. It has the standard IDE and power connections in the back along with a master/slave/cable-select jumper. The package doesn't include the IDE or power cables, though, but since we were replacing an existing drive it wasn't an issue.Software package was surprisingly inclusive: the standout being Nero 7 Essentials which includes an extremely easy to use interface to burn CDs, DVDs, Video CDs, etc. CyberLink PowerDVD includes playback software and PowerProducer to help make (simple) movies, but I haven't used those at all. InCD is supposed to provide a drag-and-drop style interface to move information to the CDs, but Nero is easy enough to use so this got un-installed also. Last package is SecurDisc software which allows you to encrypt your burned data with a key. You have to use the software to "unlock" the disc when you're finished. Supposedly it also provides some scratch resistance to the disc? Overall, a great fast drive (burning a 4.7gb DVD in around 5 minutes.. much better than the hours it used to take), and Nero 7 fits the bill to burn all the stuff I need. No complaints or downsides other than a bulk packaged drive (comes in bubble wrap instead of a shiny new retail box, but who cares? You'd just recycle the box anyway). If you need an IDE drive, this is a GREAT choice.

No problems,

For some reason I am unable to identify, I never expect much in the way of quality from LG. I expect the products to be attractive in a slightly superficial way, but ultimately lacking the attention to detail or "solid-ness" of a proper brand. Of course this attitude marks me as victim of so much marketing double-speak as produced by the likes of Sony and Panasonic; this product was easy to install, the jumpers could be manipulated without the ever-evasive needle nose pliers (where the heck do those things get to?), and after numerous DVD burns on R and RW, seems robust. I have yet to try any dual layer DVDs, but I don't expect any problems.

LG's DVD+/-RW What's in a name?,

LG, a very trusted very embedded name in our computing world. Granted it is not the most catchy of names out there but for me, the only one I buy.I find it to be quiet and efficient. The last one I owned lasted for 4 years. I haven't much to say really just that this is a very good brand. As always I have a suggestion. Use a drive such as this for what it is intended for only. Have a second CD drive for installing programs, ripping/listening to music cd's generally anything besides DVD/recording tasks. Use the right tool for the job applies here. Also make sure to get the right drive. There are SATA and IDE. This is NOT SATA.
