Sorry to be blunt, I hate it.

Mine refuses to read 99% of my burned audio and data CD-R's. Others have had a hard time with DVD read speeds.

if you want a DVDROM just for reading DVDs on your computer, they are OK.... but don't expect them to do much more

Yea, its not a bad drive, but look elsewhere for say a specialist ripper/one that can emulate protections.

I used it as cd reader a couple of time only and didn't have any problems. I don't use Alcohol or anything like that.

As for ripping, I flashed a firmware by The Dangerous Brothers and now its fine.
