Strengths: best external DVD drive
Weaknesses: none
Summary: 2006-08-29 10:04:20 my first drive and it is just perfect. Hooked it up in less than 10 minutes. Burned a DVD less than 7 minutes and printed a lightscribe label less than 10 minutes. It comes with the standard Nero 6.0 version. Highly recommended.

Strengths: well priced, brand name, Nero software
Weaknesses: none really
Summary: The drive is not too heavy. Very portable. It burns great and very fast. I haven't tried dual layer discs, but it worked fine with the regular dvd discs. The lightscribe feature is awesome (and again, excellent price for a drive with so many features). Works perfectly. It only took me about 15 minutes to burn a label.

Strengths: Price, Easy of installation and use, Lightscribe, Nero
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: This is probably one of the best external DVD burners available in the market. It also comes with Nero 6 software. It is well built, looks decent and just costs as much as a internal DVD burner. Installation was a breeze with Windows XP. I have not tried burning dual layer or lightscribe DVDs, but the burning of regular DVDs and CDs worked without a problem. There aren't any true weaknesses with this burner.The large power adapter can be a problem for some. Also, the position of the eject switch is directly under the tray.

Summary: So far, it is a good external DVD burner, working fine on several medium I tried,althogh I haven't tried a Lightscribe disc or a dual-layer disc yet. But I've seen other Lightscribe discs burned, and it works out pretty well. I also should mention the installation is quite easy,and Nero software coming with it works out well.
