PLEASE DON"T BUY [Posted on 2005-12-30]
Earlier, the IOMAGIC used to be rebagged Benq dw1620. Now BTC. Horrible quality. It's worth spending $10 more and buy either NEC, BENQ, PLEXTOR 740a or atleast you know what you are buying. This is just not worth even spending $20.
So so [Posted on 2006-01-23]
I got this is ThxGvg Sale for 19.99. I dont know if it is that worth at all also, I tried to burn a Audio CD of a 192Kbps Quality songs, it screwed them all. I thought it was my songs, but re made the cD on my prev ext CD burner, they come grt. but I copied a DVD, came out grt.
Excellent Drive For The Price [Posted on 2006-01-26]
I Purchased this drive at Stapels, because i needed a low-cost DVD Burner. I got a Computer for christmas, upgraded the hard drive, and added this DVD Burner. Right now I only have two drives in my computer, one sitting there, not powered, not connected to my PC, because i removed the pin connector thing. I haven't tried to burn anything with it yet, but it read Nero 6 and the other bundled software fine. But it is REALLY loud. The disc must be going at 500+ RPMs. Sometimes i could hear it, faintly, through a 6-inch-thick wall. But overall it seems like a good drive. If anyone could put up a pic of the back of the drive, showing a stock pin connection setup, it would be appreachated.
WARNING:AS WITH ANY DVD DRIVE,DO NOT REMOVE MASTER/SLAVE PINS CONNECTOR THING, IF THERE ARE TWO DRIVES HOOKED UP TO THE SAME CABLE WITH NO PIN CONNECTORS,THE COMPUTER WILL NOT BOOT.
Great for reading flawed discs [Posted on 2008-07-28]
I don't use this drive for burning discs, I use more reliable brands like Pioneer. So why do I use it and like it? It's made by BTC, and BTC drives are great at reading iffy discs. If you want a back-up drive for such a purpose or are building a DVD duplicator, it's great for that purpose. Just use a Pioneer to burn.
