LG GCC 4120B CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive

Pros: Saves a drive bay, Speed of CD-burner, DVD Playback and more.
Cons: Can¡¦t make instant CD copies.

Since the inception of the DVD/CD-RW combo drives, not to be confused with DVD-RW/CD-RW drives; it has been a miracle for many computer users, since some computers only have one 5.25-inch drive bay or that they only have one 5.25-inch bay left over....

Pros: Price definitly. The concept of it. Quality
Cons: um.. it doesn't write DVD's is the worst thing.

I was a sceptic, I must admit. I mean, a CDRW drive, with a DVD rom built in? Come on! But I bought it and WOW! I was simply amazed. First of all how simple it was to install. Especially with XP. I just plugged the data cable in, then the power...

Pros: All-In-One, Saves Drive Bay, XP Compatible
Cons: None

Today CD Burners write at 52x and DVD readers read top out at 16x. Although my LG CD-RW is a few years old it does the job. It writes at 12x and reads DVD's at 8x. I'm currently using it with WinXP and it works great with XP's built-in software as well as with Nero. It also plays DVD's perfectly without any skipping or freezing. If your able to pick this up used cheap- I recommend it. It also saves you a drive bay if your building a compact PC.
