...register your burner on the Plextor website and they will send you information on any firmware updates that become available. I know you can get external dvd burners at a lower price than you can get this one, but they won't be as good, well made and reliable as this and all Plextor products are. But if you want quality you have to pay for it.
So if you're looking for a quality external burner i would highly recomend buying this. ...

...past. But I bought a Samsung drive (Super-WriteMaster SH-S202J) from www.ishift.co.uk and I must say that not only is it just as fast (20x) and I have seen no real difference in performance between the IDE or SATA drives as the Liteon and Pioneer drives but it is much much quieter! To be honest the whole build quality of the Samsung seems a lot better as well plus it came with the software I needed, unlike many of the Pioneer OEM drives I have bought. ...

Advantages: Fast Write speeds, wide compatibilty, 20 speed dvd writing and CHEAP Disadvantages: Not any that i've experienced!!

The Drive was also quiet, but not too quiet. I found the OEM Box that the drive ...

Advantages: Very Cheap, Changeable cover panels, Fast Speed Disadvantages: No firmware, Region Locked, Major issues with burning regular cd's
...and thus bought it as LG has become more reputable.
The Pros
This drive was very easy to install. It was practically a plug and play drive. It also came with different front panels in order to change colors from black and white. Although this may seem pointless it is a factor to take into consideration if you are after certain specification like color for your computer. The drive has never had a problem playing any cd's DVD's and etc. It ... ...this drive as it seems LG has forgotten about this drive and moved on.
3) This final problem is the killer part of this drive and the reason it is ranked so low. When durng xvid files and various other files onto a CD to watch on an xvid player and part of the files which are over 350 mb will not work. Thus typically TV shows are 350 mbs and meaning half the disc is wasted. Despite the cheap prices of CD's these days it still is a waste. Conclusion ...
