Lite-On 24X SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive Optical Drive IHAS124-14

It runs quietly, in installed this in a brand new computer i had just built, it performs as it should.

Used this in a new build. Works as expected and has not been a problem.

great price, and it works like all the others

I haven't tested it yet, but from other reviewers I'm going to assume it works. We will see. My only issue that made it lose a star is that it didn't even come with the required SATA cables much less the housing screws. Disappointed on that as I had to spend extra money to get the cable and screws i need to install it.

I tried using a dozen CD drives on a new Windows 11 build and this is the only drive that was plug and play and worked flawlessly

UPDATED with tale of woeI burned about a half dozen CD-R with this unit, and maybe a dozen DVD for data backups. I also used it to read about 50 CD-R data backups I had burned in years past with a different burner. It started failing to read CD-R but I assumed it was a problem with the old optical media. I start experimenting with CD-ROMs and CD-DA; it won't read/write CD media at all anymore although DVD media works.I contacted the seller about an RMA. They advised me to contact Lite-On.So I contacted Lite-on, who said get the RMA from the seller.Ok. I told the seller, who asked to see Lite-On's response, which I'd already provided in the email. :-\Then the seller asked for the serial number, which I'd already provided in email. :-( I don't like this pattern.Seller says they are in the process of procuring an RMA. Ok. I will name names if this blows up, but if they come through I will put it all behind me.Because this can take a while I figured I'd order another one and keep any RMA replacement as a spare. I noticed there was a refurb available from a different seller, and I've had great experience with refurbs in the past. Seller (M-Wave) shipped very fast. IMO there is no way this drive was refurbed, or even inspected.The door wouldn't open. Weird. No grinding or hanging, just a gentle whir. I opened the drawer manually with the paperclip trick and saw the drawer drive belt was loose in the drive (see pic). I was able to retrieve it and install it on the pulleys with a pick. Joy!No, despair. The drive clacks and won't stay closed whether or not a disc is present. It sounds like maybe the drive head is not lifting into place correctly. I put in for a replacement but apparently Prime only does refunds. Fine.I gave up on this model drive and just bought a Samsung instead:Samsung 24x SATA DVD+RW DVD-Writer Internal Optical Drive (SH-224FB/BSBE)===== Original review =====A great drive, just what the insiders have come to expect from Lite-On. Funny name, fantastic burners.

I installed this in my new computer with Windows 10. It automatically installed itself and then prompted me to download a video player from the app store.

They were so cheap that I bought 2. The first one made crunching and grinding sounds when I put in a CD. Fortunately it didn't hurt the CD. Recording off the second one inserted crackles and pops on the recording. Often after opening and closing the drive, it wouldn't open again. I had to unplug it and then plug it in again to get it to open.I will return both and not buy another one of this brand.
