The housing is high-gloss finish that looks classy, but is very sensitive to fingerprints and scratches. In addition, the housing is made of solid plastic, but this person not bother me because for the price to be technically proficient and able to read media and burn reliably it easy. And exactly it is doing well !!!
The installtion is super easy. For Windows 7 32 bit, the drive is recognized directly as such on the connection. And then it can even go off: CD burning via I-Tunes and other burning programs such as CD Burner XP works without problems. Even elderly cheap blank CDs from SK (74 min) with the dark green Dye (who still remembers the good old time when CD burning was in the beginning of shoes), which I kept in stock in hundreds of bulk goods, burns the device without any problems and can be read correctly even in my old CD drive from Sony. Even my new Plextor PX-L 871 had problems with these blanks older date and refused the CDs to burn properly and insurance. Of course, current blank CDs are described reliably!
DVD burning functions are also very reliable. Cheap bulk goods, and Rewritable + and - media, even Double Layer blanks burned the part without error. The reading works relatively quickly, and great vibrations, I could not notice until now anyway! The device has on the bottom four rubber feet feet, which stick to my mind stable on slippery surfaces.
After testing on my laptop, we went the next day to a colleague who has what installed on his older computer with Fujitsu Siemens Asus M2R-FVM / S Motherboard and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor Vista. Again, the device is recognized immediately and did a few burning tests the service reliable on.
, To burn high-quality music CDs for home and car A recommendable device in my view for those who can do without for a time on BlueRay and where the shortcomings as to short USB cable and plastic case do not mind. Therefore, there is of me full credit.
