Strengths: burning speed very fast.
Weaknesses: I have not find out any weaknesser, but the color.
Summary: After using the burner I found out using this DVD burner burn DVD movie is very fast, no matter you use DVD+R or DVD+RW, it burns very fast.compare to my previous Lite-On DVD burners I owned, this one is much better than the Lite-On brand Burner.I had burned 20 DVDs, each one takes me only 13-15 minutes, my previous Lite-on brand's DVD burner takes me 23-90 minutes, so you can image how big the difference.

Strengths: Fast DVD burning; quiet operation; light.
Weaknesses: IDE interface; disc tray is a bit weak.
Summary: Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7190A 20x DVD-Writer is marketed under various package labels. Mine is serviced by Emprex but the hardware is exactly the same as any other Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7190A down to the label on the case of the drive. Its performance is high and reliable comparing to other 20X DVD burners. I notice that it also operates quietly. The disc holder is a bit weak so user is recommend to use the eject button instead of pushing on the tray when inserting disc. This PATA E-IDE version is now less popular than the SATA version since most new motherboards only have two IDE ports available comparing to the numerous SATA ports. With Auto Write Strategy and Buffer Under Run Error Protection, it will burn any types of disc you throw at it without making coaster.
