Rating: - noisy performer
granted - this thing is noisy.
but - it gets the job done fast
also a very reliable reader - managed to copy some of the old CDs that my previous drives (including one in a brand new lenovo laptop) could not read... this thing just zoomed for a few more minutes than usual and managed to get the data
