3 out of 5 stars Good for the money!.......2005-07-28

This item has been installed in a yet to be "burned in" new computer. Installed well and seems to be okay with XP.

1 out of 5 stars Locks up my computer all the time!!!.......2005-01-18

This drive sucks. I paid (on sale at Staples) $115.00 And it has not worked well since the day I got it. It locks my computer up so bad, I cannot even shut it down!!! I have to hard power it down and as you know not shutting everything else down causes software problems... I have tried to find firmware upgrades for this drive and none can be found on internet. The front of the retail box (which I still have) brags about Toll Free Technical Support.... uh... so what... someone answers the phone, they don't speak good english and they can't help me. Last Pacific Digital Product I am ever going to buy. Stick with name brands... Plextor, Sony, both support their drives... even the older ones. Gee I am mad!!! I won't get fooled again!

I bought this to play DVDs--nothing else. That it does. However, it's a little slow extracting audio and recently the tray started getting stuck when opening and closing.

2 out of 5 stars cheap but not always functional.......2004-05-03

I've had this DVD drive for a year and a half now, and it does work most of the time (albeit with a terribly loud whirring noise that sometimes detracts from the movie) but I've found that it cannot detect some DVDs. They are perfectly legit home videos that work in other DVD-ROMs, but not in this one. So every once in a while I have to borrow someone else's DVD player just to watch a movie, which is a nuisance. It will probably be a better deal to buy a more expensive DVD-ROM drive that runs quietly and actually works all the time.

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY PACIFIC DIGITAL PRODUCTS!!!.......2004-03-05

I BOUGHT A PACIFIC DIGITAL EXTERNAL CD BURNER FROM AN INTERNET SELLER. IT CAME BRAND NEW IN A SEALED BOX WITH ALL THE WARRANTY CARDS AND EVERYTHING. I AM HAVING TROUBLE INSTALLING IT SO I CALLED PACIFIC DIGITAL SEVERAL TIMES FOR HELP ONLY TO GET VOICEMAIL. MY EMAILS WERE NEVER ANSWERED EITHER. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THROUGH SOME INDIAN SOUNDING GUY TOLD ME I COULDN'T GET SUPPORT BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT FROM AN "UNAUTHORIZED SELLER"!!THAT IS UNCONSCIONABLE!!! THIS COMPANY WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS SOON BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BY WHAT THEY SELL.
