Its actually in an external case so I can use it on many machines. Not had a problem with it yet - all for $80 plus shipping. It burns dual layer and does all I need it to do. Probably burnt maybe 100 discs with it I guess since new and not a dud yet. Prior to this one I had a Liteon that burnt the occasional bad disc (it was picky with the media) - a very early BTC that went really well but was terribly slow.... Sue |
