Bottomline: Like the DRW-1814BLT before it, the DRW-2014L1T has had its share of growing pains. Early reviews indicated that it suffered from many of the same performance issues as its predecessor. Instead of publishing our own less than flattering review, we put ...
Bottomline: As far as DVD optical drives go, the is right on par with a lot of the other drives in its class. The LightScribe is a bonus for those who like to label their discs. Most drive noise is created when the optical disc starts to wobble and vibrate. ...

Good: Fast access times, Â Great burst rates, Â LightScribe included, Â Easy to install, Â Very Silent, Â The drive works on its side, Â A different color drive cover included, Â A vast amount of disc formats supported
Bad: The faceplate colors seem to be off, e.g. black = dark blue, Â Drive has a lot of slow starts, e.g. slow spinup times, Â On several different disk formats, disk speeds are slower than our older drive
Bottomline: This ASUS drive surprised us with its composure in all of the tests we put it through and it showed that it is ready for prime time. Even though it was compared to a BenQ drive that is almost two years old, its performance in the access time tests was ...
