Full review

I really dont like these LG Drives.

I will explain why

They are so slow

I loaded vista on one of my pcs and it took ages to even get though the setup screens.

Its quite fast burning dvds however i have notice that the NEC Drives are alot faster in both loading software, vista and doing cds and dvds.

I am quite disapoinent with these as i brought serveral and the performance is naff.

I would recommend using a NEC Drive or one simular.

Big disapointment.

I would not recomeend this drive at all and would like to let you all know my experience.

Its good that it does Dual Layer but still would go for another make

I got mine from Ebuyer and Paid £23.00 for it im debating weather to send these back, i build machines for customers and i certainly wouldn't put one of these in a customers machines.

I took the time last night to run a performance test on two machines doing music cds. and a dvd.

On the music cds i both placed them on at the same time and same amount of tracks it was this drive vs the philips model.

I was even more disappointed with my findings. The cd on the LG (This one was behind 1 and half cds than the philiips which was roughly 8 mins difference it was that bad!

DVD Wise The Philips finished 5mins before this LG Drive did.

Both machines were the same specification and the same media player burner media player 11 with windows vista!

So there you have it a performance match where this drive failed big time.

Sorry..
