...I have owned this lite-on drive for about six months now
and its reliability is amazing.In that time I can honestly say I have only had five failures whilst using it.
I bought it from a local retailer,quite cheaply as it has been superceded by a new model.
I am a bit of a computer buff but by no means hand on panels off stick it in there sort of person.So I was going to ask a mate to do it for me.
Well to cut a long story short I got impatient looking at the box and decided to have a go at fitting it.
What a doddle,it took longer for me to work how to take the side panel off the pc than it did to fit the device

...Lite-on are a well respected company that have been around for a while.
LITE-ON oringinated from a team of scientist and engineers from ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Insitute) in 1995. LITE-ON Information Technology corportation are constantly devoloping anit-vibration mechanical design, advanced circuit design and increased performance. LITE-ON Information Technology Corporation (LITE-ON I.T.) this was a big part of the LITE-ON group which concentrated on the optical storage devices which then led to the creation on these fine CDROM drives we have today.
This LITE-ON CD-RW is a very good drive and after purchasing one for personnal use I have purchased many more for computers I have built for friends and family. Very easy installation, driver support is excelent.
With dvd-rw's coming down alot in price recently I would...
