This was a really good burner for me while it lasted. It burned both +/-R. I liked the fact that it did HD-BURN for CDRs. About 5 months after buying it, it started giving me Tracking Servo Erorrs and would not burn another DVDR. I don't blame this on the drive, so I still gave it an 8 out of 10.

I bought this as an I/O Magic 12X drive at Staples for dirt cheap, the sticker on drive says it's a DD1203. The box had IDVD12D on the UPC. I flashed the hacked firmware from a DD1205 drive from cdfreaks, and now I can write Dual layer DVD+R's. It writes HD burn cd's great too (1.4 gigs on a standard cdr). Windows calls is a "GENERIC DVD RW 12XMax"

Works great on all +r and -r 4x and 8x media I tried -- no coasters. It burns as fast or faster than my 8x plextor, and reads faster too. The 4x +r media that the Plextor burns at 8x can also be burned at 8x with the optorite w/ latest firmware (v. 120E). I haven't tried HD-burn or any 12x media yet, but so far I am impressed, especially given the price (half the price of the 12x plextor). The only negative thing I can say is that it takes longer to open the drive tray than other drives I've used.

Every Piece of Media I have put in this thing works!! Also The HD-Burn Feature is the shit!!! Big upps to Optorite on this one!! I got this one over the NEC DL 2500A because DL Disk are not gonna be worth it Price wise when they come out. It will probably be a year or so before they come down to where the consumers will like the price
