I have the burner for several months now and am still very happy with it. Having previously had a turbine with imbalance of LiteOn in the computer (the part was cruel, the vibrations were so strong that to rattle the fins of my graphics card started and I was afraid for my hard drive), this burner volume and vibration default, a giant step forward. What you hear is the noise of the medium at high speed, but this is the sound of her noise of air, which probably can not be avoided at such high speeds. In addition a humming noise, probably from the engine. But it is a total no annoying noise and sound compared to my previous burner "healthy". I feel no vibrations, I can put the hand directly on the housing or the drive tray, because nothing is vibrating, and I actually always burn at full speed. In recent years, came into contact with several different burners, and this drive is definitely the quietest that I have encountered. It dominates "Accurate Stream 'and the evaluation of C2 errors, important for reading music CDs. The error correction seems to work well, even scratched CDs are read well. About burning media also works. The quality of the recordings seems to me very well, although I have not made any intensive quality tests with tools and can relate only to the reading behavior in other drives, but here there are no problems. I'm fired up media from Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, so it applies to my statement. Only my CD-RW discs from TDK (700MB, Speed 16-24x) he does not seem to like - there is at the outset a power calibration error. The Verbatim media it burns properly. My conclusion: A prima Brenner, one of the quieter, which provides a great burning quality.
