Got my drive this morning and was amazed to have a giant cardboard box handed to me br the driver, really you could of got 10 dvd drives in this thing. Anyhoo open said giant box to get to my new drive only to discover it was only shiped in a single piece of bubble wrap, yeah the drive got here in one piece (somehow) and is working fine, excellent drive for the money but come on dabs lets try better on the packaging next time please :)

No nonsense product

I paid £18 including P&P for this drive, and you really can't go wrong for that price. It was for my sons PC, and it really is a bargain. It writes to most popular formats, and is quick to spin up from idle. There are more expensive drives, but for basic dvd writing why pay more?
