I believe they have it at www.newegg.com and there are some reviews on it. Customers post both the good and the bad reviews on nearly all their items.

Just bought two of them from mwave.com and like all lite-on drives, they've been excellent so far.

I've one installed on the machine in the sig and the other installed on an XP3000/Abit NF7. The drives work without a hitch on both machines

The drive comes with three pieces of software: sonic, I copy, and power DVD XP. Since WinXP's integrated burning program only suppports one CD writing device at a time, I went ahead and installed sonic and have been using Sonic DLA (I don't care about movies, as I bought the thing strictly for data backup). Sonic DLA is fast and reliable; 4.5G of data in about 12 minutes on DVD+RW.

Hey Thanks a lot man...

That was really helpful.

I was concerned about the double device thing...I already own a CDRW from LITEON..their fastest as of 2 months ago at least...and I LOVE IT.

So someone said they make a good DVD/CD comb RW drive ....and it just dropped in price by 20 dollars in the past 1.5mnths..so I am def. going to get it...


Thank you.
