Works great. Got it because my desktops dvd burner died and this saved the day. I'm not a big electronics person so idk all the technical stuff. But it burns dvds and cds great and it was very reasonable in price.

I didn't have a DVDrw in my mac and had been looking for something that was mac compatible. This worked great. I didn't even bother with the software. Just set it up according to the instructions, plugged it in and it burned my DVD. (I used the iDVD software that came with the mac). It's a nice looking unit too. It does seem a little slow, but then again I have nothing to compare it with. It does what I want for a reasonable price. I'm happy with it.

Works as advertised. Suitable for people who require recordable CDs for older burners.

Not being a laptop expert I was surprised to learn that the hard drive would not interface with my IDE cable in my desktop.  I wanted to load a newer operating system in my laptop but the unit was so old it had no CD drive.  Enter the adapter here and now I was able to do what I needed to thanks to a very inexpensive part.  I'm happy with it.

I had to replace the single DVD burner on my Emachines home computer.  I did some research, and through the other reviews, I decided to purchase two of these LG DVD's.

I knew ahead of time to set one DVD to Master and the other to Slave (IDE).  No biggie at all.

Set the jumpers as above, plugged the drives in and booted the computer from scratch.  The Windows XP system saw the drives immediately.  I did go ahead and load the drivers and programs from the  CD's included.

Everything is working fine, and I've burned both CD's and DVD's with the twin drives.  Needless to say, I'm a very happy camper.

BTW, there are no rails, screws, etc included with these drives.  The drives do however use everyday run of the mill computer drive mounting screws of which I had plenty to work with.

Works as it should. Have not tried the Nero burning software. Computer mother board became defective. So keeping DVD burner for spare.

I've got this device from Staples store for little over $60 and I like it. I've seen many bad reviews for this item, mostly due to reasons that are not related to the device itself, such as bad media or bad "INTERFACE" BETWEEN the CHAIR AND the KEYBOARD. As funny as it may sounds, many reviewers just do not know how to use DVD Recorder.

Once you will get full version of Nero Burning ROM, and will update firmware (update software comes with the device), you will be settled.

Bottom line - if you need cheap and good quality DVD Burner - IDVD16DD is a good choice.

works if you have other component hdcp ready, just need to download the powerdvd update, and plays my disc master and commander trouble free, awesomeness. 70 something bucks flat, no need to purchase additional software.

works great for all my DVD needs for my laptop.

I plugged it in, and it works.  I'm using an Asus G73JW-A1.  The laptop came with its own disc drive (that has failed), so I'm guessing that's why I didn't need any of the software that came with this drive in order to burn files to disc (all pictures so far).  It's about as loud as a typical laptop Disc Drive, if only a slight bit louder.  It works great, and does exactly what I wanted (backup pictures to DVD).

Worked perfectly.  Pulled the hard drive from a dead laptop, connected it to my desktop with the adapter and there it was.

used in machine that had no DVD drive but did have space for a slimline unit.  Works well (be sure you have the right adapter to connect to data and power)

My old one died.  I found this with a quick search on Amazon. Plugged it in, and it does what its supposed to. :)

Works great. I use this on a Windows 8.1 desktop with no issues and was a breeze to install (just plug it in). This is my second one though,as my last one of about two years suddenly stopped working. For the price though, totally worth it.

Works as advertised.  Took and external 2 inch hard drive out of it's case and installed into this unit and came right up on my computer.  My cd rom in notebook failed quite a while ago and was too expensive to replace so bought an external cd burner and had external hard drive that I lost the usb cable to mount the drive (use a usb to usb cable, weird) and found this device.
