Asus Viper Conclusion

Although there was a bit of erratic behavior in some of the speed tests, the ASUS drive still worked like it should, and as far as DL goes it was right on par with other drives we have tested. It's possible that a future firmware update (can be updated using Nero's) could correct these issues, if in fact it is the drive and not the media that caused us problems. Regardless, if you are looking for a name brand DL capable DVD burner "on the cheap" the ASUS at least deserves a look.
