(More customer reviews)I bought this drive to replace a very old white DVD ROM, the old one wasn't even a burner it was read only and was now in a black case. This is a very good drive, seems well built, the tray moves smoothly and feels solid. I can't comment on the lightscribe function because I haven't used it yet. It arrived well packed, the only thing included at the time I ordered this drive was driver software, including live firmware update and a copy of Nero 8 Essentials. I did not install Nero 8 but if you don't already have burning software this is a good program to receive free. I have used other versions of Nero and I have always been happy with them. No SATA cord or screws, this was not a problem for me. I deducted one star simply because there is no drive activity light on the drive. This may just be the way optical drives are made now but I miss the light. It can be just a little difficult to find the eject button when the entire drive is black and installed in a black case. I'm sure I'll get used to it and maybe I'm being a bit picky. All in all, this is a good, solid, fast drive that seems to handle every disc format except, of course, Blue Ray, and it's at a reasonable price. And don't let the "half height" disignation throw you off, it is a standard size drive that fits a standard 5 1/2 inch drive bay. I may buy another one to replace my last IDE drive which is one of the first DVD burners that came on the market, I still have some of the 1x DVD discs that I bought after purchasing that old burner, so you can imagine how fast the new Samsung seems to be to me.
