Noisy drive

Drive reads and writes all discs it should, but it has an annoying whiny noise when playing audio CD's and blu-ray movies. Fine for data discs but not for multi-media usage.

Needs Slimline to SATA adapter.

Works fine but as with all slim drives you'll need a slimline to SATA adapter to fit it in. No special cables just an adapter.

Unuseable

Haven't been able to use it because I haven't heard back from their tech support to tell me what cables I need to install it in an sff desktop case. I has now been over a month since it was escalated

Superior data protection with M-DISC Support
The M-DISC uses a patent rock-like recording surface instead of organic dye to etch your data onto a disc. The M-DISC has been tested and proven to outlast standard DVDs currently on the market.

Silent Play
The Silent Play technology helps reduce noise during playback by recognizing different multimedia and automatically adjusting the playback speed according to its criteria for optimal performance.

8x Writing Speed
Burn more discs in less time with 8x DVD-Max writing speed.

Super Multi Compatibility
LG Super Multi Compatibility optical drives can read and write different types of disc formats in one convenient package. This gives you the option to choose the media best suited for each task.
