Lite-On 24X SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive + Nero 12 Essentials + SATA Cable Kit - PC Optical Drive - DVD/CD Writer - Half Height - 16X DVD, 12X CD - 8X Write Speed

Work like a charm,no problems

I purchased this in December 2023, to back up my CD collection to .flac files. Since then, I have ripped 809 CD's with no problems. I had used a couple different, older laptops on the past to rip CD's and I had a lot of issues with CD's having too many errors to accurately rip. With this player I haven't had any issues at all. I use Exact Audio Copy, which verifies your rip for accuracy and I have found this drive to be extremely accurate.Last night I was ripping a CD when I heard a very loud Pop!! noise. I thought something fell off the wall. I finally heard the CD player making a weird whining noise... I had to unplug it to shut it off and when I moved it (it's in an external drive holder on my desk), it sounded like a maraca inside..I removed the drive from the enclosure and disassembled it, when I got the cover open, rice sized pieces of the CD came pouring out.. the CD had exploded!The crazy part was, I poured all the little pieces of the CD out, kind of blew it off a little and put it back together and it still works!I ripped another 3 CD's after putting it back together and it works perfectly!I'm amazed by the durability of this player... seriously amazed.

Was deciding between an external drive or an internal. This is the second drive for the cpu and decided internal to save real estate on the desk. Installation was straight forward. Didn’t use Nero disc others mentioned but the cable and hardware included made the install a snap.Used quite a bit so far and it performs flawlessly. Good value for the $.

DOOR of player was popping open erratically for over a month had issues,...THOUGHT it was the cable_wrong. THOUGHT it was my BIOS_wrong. THOUGHT the player was defective_wrong again.What it was is a simple matter of adjusting the distance of the player in the TOWER case to where pressure was to be applied to trigger door to open. Once I finally got that wright bingo! Issue resolved.BUT I still detract 1 star because there are older DVD files back from a SysteMAX WindowsME DVD that this player can't read so I have DVD files that unless I use an older DVD RW I can't get to.SADLY! When the door of the player would keep popping open and would not stay closed...after spending much time (thinking it could be my BIOS?), finally I thought could it be the cable, unplugged it plugged in an old SATA cable and the issue vanished - so I'm not happy about a brand new bad cable.

CD/DVD burner works great and easy to install.

I'd been ripping CD's with dbPoweramp, and my external drive kept failing to give me 100% on my songs... I thought my CD's were just old and I had to deal with it. Well... after looking up a few things, I found raving reviews about this drive and its ability to rip CD's flawlessly.Ladies and gentlemen... I was not disappointed! This drive, for such a cheap price, is incredible at ripping CD's! Some CD's that I had long thought hopeless are now in flawless FLAC format on my master music drive.Amazing drive, will always have one of these for every PC I build until lossless formats become downloadable!THANK YOU!!! <3 <3

Bought the installation kit, had a terrible time getting the drive to recognize there was a disc in it. Eventually found the SATA cable that comes in the kit was faulty. After replacement the drive works fine.

It was easy to install and it worked with the Burning Software that was already installed onu desktop. I have a Dell XPS 420 thats old but still works great and I have updated it to its limits..The original Burner finally died so replacing it at this price was a no brainier. It works great,so far so good .
