SecurDisc - Why not?

Advantages: Cheap, pretty quiet, works fine, comes with Securdisc at no real extra cost.
Disadvantages: None

...am writing this review, this LG drive is not only cheap, cheerful, easy to install, super-fast at burning and generally as good as most other writers. It also has Securdisc. Securdisc is pretty obvious, its name is self-explanatory. It is a way of securing your discs - but from what exactly? Mainly from theft, piracy and children, but it also warns you when your files are in danger of becoming corrupt from disc decay. So if you store a lot of files ...
...be putting those files at risk of becoming corrupted due to just simple over-use. This burner has built in Securdisc which will scan for any degrading files, and then repair them using information stored when you first burned the disc. Pretty clever actually, it is probably safer storing on to these types of disc than onto your hard-drive. It also incorporates encryption and password protection, so files cannot be copied unless you have the authority. ...

Review of LG GH22LP20 Super Multi

The disc, the disc, the disc is on fire.........

Advantages: Has the light scribe facility, cheap, reliable - Great value for money
Disadvantages: Not pleasing to the eye, fairly large and bulky, loud during the burning process

...up, so step up the LG GSA-E60L. I primarily looked at this drive because of the low price. Whilst there were cheaper drives out there, I had never heard of such brands so I was quite skeptical. The drives could have been made in the same factory as the top brands and given an unknown label (I know many things are manufactured in this way), hence I could have got a bit of a bargain. Alternatively, the products could have been absolute rubbish. It ...
...Looks The LG is black and understated, however it is not modern looking or sleek in any way. It is one of the larger, bulkier and uglier external drives I have seen, but all things considered this is forgivable, however if you are one of those people that put looks over functionality and practicality then this external drive is definitely not for you. When dealing with computer peripherals I always go for functionality and value for money over ...

Review of LG GSA E60L Super-Multi

decent product if you have some back ground knowledge

Advantages: Fast and reliable
Disadvantages: Noisy and needs its own plug socket. Roxio is over complicated for personal use.

When i first opened my freecom dvd recorder i was impressed. it looked decent and very well put together. The installation went well even though it took longer than i had intailly hoped. When it comes to backing up your dvds and cd's the freecom does what you want it to do. It will not convert avi files to dvd format. I also found that the roxio program that comes with the freecom dvd recorder is not helpfull in its tutorial, the program seems over ...
...drive itself is worth having for these reasons; * Reliable and durable (yes i tested mine!) * Easy to set-up due to USB connections. * Fast The Freecom is a little loud and it does require its own plug socket (simular to mobile phone chargers in size). ...

It's only when I wanted to install another hard drive on the same ide channel that I have encountered problems. it really good device it has a good and attractive shape and alarge features and the speed of it when it use as a cd is good 48x and 24x is very enough but in the case of dvd the speed is 4x and 8x which is not enough ...
...dvd's as it was burning, anything from movies to games, the scratch was always in exactly the same place, fine for some movies, but games useless they did not work. Decided to burn the game on maximum speed, burnt 3/4 of the way and stopped. Same spot that it was putting the scratch. Doesn't work anymore, not only won't it burn dvd's anymore, won't read anything either. Mind you this burner has had very little use in the 2 1/2 months that I have ...
