Strengths: Works great! Plug it in and it's ready to go. Very affordable price considering how expensive these things can get. Good quality and speed.
Weaknesses: Size! I'm not sure if external drives can be smaller, but I wish this one was. Slightly larger than an internal drive.
Summary: I had to buy an external drive since my laptop came with a piece of crap DVD-RAM drive, which wouldn't read anything I put in it except for maybe one or two CDs.

However, THIS gets the job done. I was hoping for something smaller since it is for my laptop (12.1" screen). Make sure your laptop case can fit this! Comes with a USB drive, power cable and a CD (although I didn't even need the CD).

Excellent product, either way.

Strengths: Good CD burner. Does it's good job according to its parameters(as advertized). I like the speed.
Weaknesses: Comes with software to install on computer. I expected just to plug and play. But after installation works perfectly
Summary: I would recommend to buy. It's a good price for a value. Not heavy. Nice styling look with metallic edges.Have not experienced how DVD burner works, but Already burned around 20 CDs and it works perfectly.

Strengths: LightScribe technology so it can print on your discs
Weaknesses: LightScribe requires LightScribe discs that cost more
Summary: I just got this burner and have burned a couple of DVD-R discs and so far it have had a 100% success rate (but again, it was just a couple of discs).

It also supports LightScribe so if you have special LightScribe discs you can let the burner print an image on your disc. LightScribe discs however cost more.
