Very VERY fast for a cheap CD reader.

This (DRW-24B1ST i) has a read offset of +6 as reported by AccurateRip.com for accurate CD ripping

I cannot speak for the burning aspect yet, as I cannot see myself burning CDs any more.

Drive would burn blank CD's, but refused to acknowledge any brand of blank DVD.

Unfortunately I cannot speak on the RW of the drive as I haven't ever burned any CDs with it

Have not tried burning any CDs or DVDs but who does that anymore?

Purchased back in March 2014 to replace a faulty DVD drive that wouldn't eject normally and had issues reading older CD-Rs

I've used it for installing Windows and also burning some CD's

Great CD drive for the price

It's extremely fast, burning CD from iTunes in about 3 minutes

Works as well as any cheap cd/DVD

It will burn CDs that work in my car.

Works as well as any cheap cd/DVD

Sometimes, even if my drives cannot read/rip a CD or some files on a CD, I can create an image file (iso, nrg if you use Nero, etc.) of that CD, burn it to a blank CD and then rip it to flac files

Used it to burn a few CD's

It cleverly told me that I could get the model number by reading the sticker on the drive (which was in my computer and operating at the time reading their stupid CD.)

good cd drive

In my decades of experience, CD/DVD drive have been the weakest links of computer systems and they all eventually die, maybe even sooner than hard drives if used a lot.

This thing will read the most retardedly scratched and messed up cd's and dvd's

I don't have MUCH use for optical drives in this day of flash media, but of course there's the odd CD to be ripped & rented DVD to watch, so I finally broke down & bought this.

The DVD/CD drive on an old HP reads most of these old music CDs as does an old CD/DVD USB drive - which I connected to the Windows 7 system for which I bought this replacement to read those "unreadable" CDs

A very nice cd/dvd drive

Was an inexpensive device to have CD/DVD capability when I built my PC.

I bought it mainly for burning audio CD's.

Great CD drive, versatile and its Asus!

I've used it to play music, install games, and even burned countless CD's on

Somebody told me that it would burn cd's too, but luckily it didn't burn any of mine!

I tried a couple of youtube tutorials to see if i could rectify the problem hoping that something within my operating system was hindering it (ASUS CD/DVD joke that was send to me) from reading...same story

However it's kind of loud just reading CDs not burning

I still need to rip some old CDs and install a couple things via CD, and it works as it should

Occasionally it makes an unusually sound like the cd is being slid against plastic but it doesn't seem to effect disk reading at all.

A good thing is that it came with basic CD / DVD burning software.

Haven;t tried to burn a CD or DVD yet - but as far as reading - super fast and quiet

The CD's it turns out have very low errors, even when burning at the maximum speed.
