Solid burner and works like any other out there

It has worked great for about a year.

The drive has worked great.

This one works great and runs very quietly.

Fortunately I had a few K Hypermedia CD-R disks that worked satisfactorily to make the system repair disk.

The M-disc compatibility was the big selling point for me, as I have had DVD-R media go bad, making discs with irreplaceable material unplayable

I purchased this hoping it would be a higher grade disc drive, and it did in fact read a critically important DVD-R that numerous other internal and external drives failed to read.
