5.0 out of 5 stars Right On Purchase, December 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I purchased this PATA writer for my sisters old Dell 4400 she's attached to. It installed easy, just plugged it in, windows installed drivers for it and does everything it's supposed to do. It' writes CD'S, DVD'S, Dual Layer DVD'S, burns labels on Lite-On disc, etc. Would purshase again. I use a different version of this writer in my PC but it's SATA and it works great and it's fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars PATA vs. SATA for DVD writers, May 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This was an used item, but it performed admirably. A PATA drive (that's IDE to us old guys) is measurably slower than a SATA drive, but in the case of a DVD write, that difference is negligible. We're talking milliseconds in transfer rates as in the case of reading a DVD and transferring the information to your hard drive, which is a lot slower than transfer rates from the hard drive to the CPU. But the minimal speed difference between a PATA and SATA DVD device is hardly worth the much larger difference in price between the two.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lot For An Outstanding Price, July 8, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This DVD drive is on the higher end of optical drive technology as far as its speeds go. Of course, multi-drives like this generally have lower CD-ROM speeds than ordinary CD-ROM drives, and I don't deny that my old CD-ROM is faster reading CD's (it's 52x rather than this Lite-On 48x). But for a DVD drive, this one has the better speeds.

Furthermore, this DVD drive comes with Nero Essentials 7 (at least mine did), which allows you to view and touch-up digital photos, record videos with your digital camera (sold separately), cut & splice clips to make movies, build video DVD's and audio CD's, and more!

This drive's compatibility is also a big plus. I've seen optical drives that don't like working with Windows XP, but this one works just fine. It uses standard Windows drivers, so you don't have to install Nero just to use the drive.

The only old-fashioned feature of this drive is its being PATA (though that takes an unreal amount off the price, or... Read more
