Lite-ON CD-RW 40r 24w 10rw Int IDE RP > Reviews (1)

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 suggest to anyone to get a dvd recorder but if you want to save money and just want to burn cds then this is for you.

Also I have never had a single problem with any LITE-ON drive. I had a friend delete his drivers once and that caused a little problem but LITE-ON support is really good and I was able to get new drivers pretty quick.
