Lite-On 52x32x52: Replaced an older Liteon drive and brand is still great. Very very quick and quiet with it. No other drive can compete. Wish I had been able to find one in black.

I have always used Lite-on products for CD playback or writing and have yet to be disappointed.
Quite simply, it works! Easy to install, never grumbles or fusses whatever media I use and always, ALWAYS gives excellent results. Have tried other makes, notably Phillips which really are naff beyond the extreme, but I invariably return to Liteon. You just cannot fault this kit ...... don't be in any doubt - buy it, you won't regret it! The retail version comes with screws, audio cable, Nero Express 6 (although I prefer Instant CD/DVD) and PowerDVD software ... what more do you want! The only proviso I would make - if using CD-RW's, ensure you use Ultra Speed CD-RW's they work best; other's will work but you're wasting this drive's capabilities.
