Finally, a point of criticism. The burner is probably "stylish" look. It may be divided on appearance, but the "design" of the circuit closer to the burner is messed up, since this can only be operated with a fingernail. Needless, to my mind, the ability to operate the burner vertically; in a horizontal position can be the BDs introduce lighter, the burner is safe and the drive runs safer (Installing the burner while the drive is running the way leads to ugly scratching noises, so refrain from better!)
But these are only minor compared to the qualities that certainly has this burner. Therefore, full 5 points.
Supplement 21:12. 2014:
Due to some demands: the burner runs properly on Windows 8.1. Here ASUS offers an update that is also being reported that the burners of Windows 8.1 is detected even without update immediately.
I have a free update for safety's sake installed anyway and am satisfied. The burner is burning himself with the simple burning program, which offers 8.1, however, the burning process takes about 60 minutes at 20 GB (!) An upgrade of the software supplied with the Boilers Power2Go to version 9 provides a remedy. The pure burning process is then for 20GB for about 20 minutes.
Conclusion: even with a change of operating system from Windows XP to Windows 8.1, the burner does not have to be scrapped. That speaks for the device. After almost two years of experience, I can still recommend the burner.
