This review is from: LiteOn 20x SATA DVD/Dual Layer RW Drive (LH20A1S12) (Personal Computers)

Positives;

1. The default bezel for the drive is black unlike product picture. Comes with beige bezel but you have to attach it yourself.

2. It comes with a red sata cable, not L shaped.

3. It burns dvd single layer quietly compared to last liteon burner.

Negative;

1. Comes with really crappy Nero Essentials software that makes you purchase mpeg encoder/decoder.

2. Nero software sucks to begin with.

3. The manual for the drive is for IDE version and not SATA version.

5.0 out of 5 stars SATA Drive, July 19, 2007

This review is from: LiteOn 20x SATA DVD/Dual Layer RW Drive (LH20A1S12) (Personal Computers)

What can I say, it works. I plugged it in, and it was recognized at boot up, and works like a traditional IDE. I have no idea if it's faster, smarter, or whatever, but it freed up an IDE port for an additional hard drive.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad firmware?, August 1, 2009

This review is from: LiteOn 20x SATA DVD/Dual Layer RW Drive (LH20A1S12) (Personal Computers)

Not recognized by XP Pro SP2 as anything other than a "CD-Rom drive". A firmware upgrade (flash program?) from Lite-on, did nothing.

It will read media, but won't burn anything.
