Strengths: Quiet, fast and reasonable price.
Weaknesses: None so far.
Summary: The Tri - DVD formats makes for a versatile writer. The operation of the unit is very quiet. The tray looks and operates like a quality piece of equipment. The dvd ram feature is great for backing up data.

Weaknesses: None
Summary: This SuperMulti drive supports all DVD/CD writing formats available today. I have not had any problems with the drive. All DVD's I created played on all DVD players I was able to get my hands on. Also supports DVD-RAM, that I number a number of disks in.

Strengths: Support DVD-RAM, great reviews online,price.
Weaknesses: CD reading/writing speed is slower than competition.
Summary: This is so far the best DVD burner made by LG. Probably the only one so far that support more formats than competitors. It is priced competitively below $100. Burn CD/DVD without problems. The only thing I dislike a little bit is its CD buring/writing capability. My Liteon CD burner can burn a 40x CD even at 52x, but LG only can do it at 40x. Also, for a 12x CDRW, Liteon can recognize full speed, while LG only recognize 10x. Guess upgrade current firmware from A101 to A103 will help, which I may do it later. Anyway, it's the best DVD burner out there in the market currently before Bluray or HD-DVD burners starting to become afforable.

Strengths: Handles all the optical media including DVD-RAM Disc's...
Weaknesses: Can't find any.
Summary: I think LG makes some of the best DVD/CD Burners available in todays market. Besides handling all the DVD/CD Media out there it can read and write DVD-RAM Disc's, great for storing DATA and Video and Audio information...
