Strengths:
Slim and portable.
Weaknesses:
Not as reliable as SATA connected full size CD/DVD drive.
Not sure if this is common issue with this type of slim USB CD/DVD drive:
My particular LG DVD drive failed to be recognized by Windows installation screens saying there's no detectable drive.
(I installed my windows 7 exactly the same way about 2 years ago when I first bought the LG (USB) DVD drive)
But, BIOS recognized there is such a drive, though!!!???
SO...
Recognized but not functional...
Additional Comments:
Not sure if this is common for the USB connection type DVD Drives.
If so, i would not recommend to buy. Simply open your TOWER and plug in the SATA type DVD Drives, if you are using desktop.
For laptop users... I wish you have better luck then me
:>
Note:
I owned this LG DVD drive for about 2 years.
Usage hours about 100 hours:
Installed window 7 with it once or twice. The rest time is for watching DVD. Never used it for burning any CD or DVD.
Get a proper SATA DVD drive if possible. It's 10 times more durable and trouble free from my experience.
(I build my own computer from scratch since 2002. Not a techy guy but I know my drives.)
