This is an all around great drive. I am using it to play dvd's and as the source drive for my dvd copies. I have had no problems yet and it looks beautiful in my machine. I would recommend it because of its value and features.

Lite-On SOHC-5232K Combo Drive

Strengths: cheap!

Weakness: not a dvd burner

a great alternative to just a dvd-rom drive, adds the ability to burn cd roms too. however, can spin fairly loudly, so if you are building a quiet system, look elsewhere

Lite-On SOHC-5232K DVD/CD-RW Writer

Strengths: Fast, quiet, and reliable burns.

Weakness: None

I installed the Lite-On 5232K Drive into an older Macintosh beige G3 Mini-Tower computer which was not originally set up for CD-RW or DVD. It was questionable whether this could be done or not. Physical installation of the drive was simple and straightforward. The CD-reading and burning functions of the drive worked flawlessly right on the first boot, with a little help from Roxio Toast. Using Apple's own DVD Player software and a third-party patch, along with an added ATI Rage video card, I am now enjoying DVD movies as well on my Mac G3 tower without a glitch.

SOHC-5232 DVD/CD-RW

Strengths: Very well packaged. Matches my computer exactly.

Weakness: No Software included. No installation instructions included.

While this device works with the Windows standard software, it would have been nice to have an instruction manual. There is no simple copy program similar to what comes with HP Drives.

Lite-on SOHC 5232K

Strengths: FAST

Weakness: None

Built into new system, it loaded XP faster than Pentium D 840 could take it. It has been reliable for 3 months. It sounds like a sports car when it winds up.
