Optorite combo drive -- any good?

[jase]

I've seen these going cheaply at an online supplier who is doing free shipping this weekend, so I was just wondering how good they are since I could do with one for a PC which is short of bays......

It's 48x24x48x/16x DVD-ROM, not sure of the model no.

So, can anyone who owns one of these tell me what the media compatibility, and DAE and DVD extraction are like please?

Thanks!!

Cdrinfo did a review here

Cool, thanks. Sounds like a reasonable risk then

ALi chipset too, not had one of those before.

Hello!

I didn´t own this drive, but I have an Optorite-OEM-CD-RW 52x24x52(MSI). The media compatibility is good with common media like Ritek, Prodisc, SKC, MoserBaer

But this writer only burns 16x with programs like CloneCD
