ASUS DRW-24F1ST - DVD SATA SUPERMULTI Burner - SERIAL ATA - BLACK - OEM Bulk Drive

truthfully I have not yet used all of its features. I have no reason to doubt they will work as well as the basic dvd playing that I usually do.

Drive worked perfectly, no software to install. This drive was 1/5 the cost of the Hewlett Packard drive !. I have both, the original that came with the computer and this one. There is absolutely no different in performance. Make sure you order the CORRECT drive model for your specific HP computer

As this are becoming history it still nice to have them in computer

Standard OEM item. Was properly packaged, their is no additional software (writer,utilities, etc.) but that is to be expected. I did find it curious that there were no screws but I just reused what was there. Seemed odd though.

An easy swap using hardware from the old drive - it slid into place and I plugged it in. Win 10 recognized it and worked immediately.

I have bought 4 of these and none have any issues in all my years of building PCs. I would say that the software that comes with it is a bit dated, so may need to check for updates.

Drive arrived as advertised and quickly. Installation went without glitch. Ive only used it a couple of times, but the drive seems to perform fine. Couldnt ask for more.

One of the best DVD burners ive ever used for several reasons: - It will read and extract data from DVDs that no other burner can read. Discs that are scratched or dirty can sometimes be recovered with this drive. Not always, but most of the time. - This has the fastest burn rates ive ever seen. I can often burn a full DVD-R in around 6 minutes. - It can rip non-copyrighted movies super fast. I doubt there is any such thing as a speed lock on this drive. - If you move to another country you can change its region code easily (a limited number of times). 2-8-17 UPDATE: This has extremely poor compatibility with older devices. You burn a disc and its nearly impossible to read it on old 16x IDE burners. Pioneer, LG, Lite-On and NEC drives. This is major if you do any sort of video production. Ive wasted so many discs with high quality media trying to fix this issue. Burning at slower speeds does nothing. Note: Its NOT the media itself. There is also zero firmware updates for the drive since ive had it. 9-6-19 UPDATE: I reinstalled this drive after not using it for awhile. It is an extremely bad drive when used for burning Taiyo Yuden TYG03 16X DVD-R media. I once had 3 discs fail in a row. Strangely it fails burns more often at a slower speed of 8x. Fails are usually random. My record is probably only 6 burns in a row. PS I did defrag my hard drive and this made no difference at all.

I am satisfied with the Burner and it came on time and will be great for my new PC. Thanks

Good drive for the price. Doesnt come with a sata cable since its OEM bulk. A little noisier than the 10 year old Samsung drive it replaced.
