LG GSA 4082B

Advantages: Read/Write/Erase-CD-R/CD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW
Disadvantages: None

...The LG GSA 4167B Super-Multi is very good because it can read,write and erase data on all media formats.I own one and I don't have problems with it.Mine is three years old and but still works very good.The first years after I bought it the CD's/DVD's inserted in the LG drive were written and read with no scratch on the CD's/DVD's.Now,when it's three years old it leaves a few scratches in comparison to other products.It's easy to install and the product worths the price.If you want this LG for speed think again.You can buy a CD-RW or something but you won't find one with so much qualities.I strongly recomend you to buy it....

Advantages: Read just about any DVD/CD media
Disadvantages: You need a powerful PSU to get it to burn DVD's

...The LG GSA 4167B 16x DVD writer is an excellent writer if you can get i to work. I bought one of these in December 2005, I installed it with ease, as it comes with a manual. Windows XP found and installed it with no problems at all. I placed a blank CD in the tray and wrote to it with no problems but when I placed a Verbatim blank DVD in to burn, it would not read it? I bought some Datawrite blanks and tried those again with no luck. I browsed the net and found that alot of people had the exact same problem, the problem seemed to occur when the PSU (Power Supply Unit) in the PC was 350kw or less. I installed a new 450kw PSU and Bingo it worked with everything I put in it. I've now had it for nearly 4 months and had about 2 bad burns out of countless DVD's and CD's This is a great writer, probably one of the best *IF you can... Read review

Advantages: Fast, reliable, writes to all formats and dual layer
Disadvantages: there is one newer model

...I've reviewed the excellent LG GSA 4120B DVD-writer, and having owned it for 1.5 years, i got a new computer and needed some DVD-writers, so Sept 2005, i bought two of these, thats how much i trusted the quality of LG Super Multi Write Technology, and i haven't been let down. The only difference between the these and the slightly newer GSA 4167B is that these can only write to DVD+R dual layer, whereas the 4167B can write to both DVD+R dual layer and DVD-R Dual layer, not a major problem really, especially since dual layer media is quite expensive. The beauty of these machines, apart from their smart black exterior is that they can write to all three formats, DVD-,DVD+ and DVD-Ram. Almost everybody else does not support the DVD-Ram format, which is surprising since it is actually technologically much more advanced. Unlike... Read review
