Does read disc, (What's this?) I bought this dvd rom last December. It worked for the first couple of weeks. Then it just stop reading any discs any more( blank disc, CD, burn cd). I've tried everything I know: Reinstall the drive, fireware, unplug and plug it back in. None worked. I am very disappointment with this dvd rom.
Constant problems., (What's this?) Nothing but read errors, system hiccups, even boot problems. Not booting from the drive but booting in general. So bad it caused issues with motherboard and prevented HD boot. Swapped it into a couple other systems and moved in other DVD drives so I know its this unit, nothing else.
Died completely after a few months. When it did work it was slow. Never made much noise though.
For brand name should expect better, but for the money I shouldn't be surprised.
Excellent Drive, (What's this?)
took a dump in less then a year, took a dump in less then a year I got about 60 burns out of it before it died. I Do not recommend this product.
Not fantastic, (What's this?) I purchased the GH24NS50 with great hopes. Unfortunately it died after about 6 months of use. It no longer reads disks. I'm disgruntled.
Great option and affordable, (What's this?) The DVD writer worked as it should. Very fast burning, and worked correctly with Sony DVDs. The construction is good. The softwares that comes with it are interesting, but not very different from what you get from some freewares available.
thankss, (What's this?) I fixed my friends computer with this one. It worked awsome! Nice cheap way to replace a drive.
LG Electronics 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Internal Drive GH24NS50 (Black), (What's this?) Bought for my HP pavilion m8020n . Works fine, Very easy to install. Burns fast. I would recommend if your looking for an affordable burner drive.
XP CAN'T SEE IT, When it works it's great, mostly it is just another "not ready for prime time" device".
LG Internal DVD Drive, (What's this?) 1. Had a faulty drive so i needed a low-cost replacement.
2. Found this, bought it, installed it. Works Great!
3. No problems so far and works well.

Speed - Burner 24x+ Reader 16x.Random Access Time: DVD-ROM - 145ms; CD-ROM - 125ms; DVD-RAM - 270ms.Interface: SATA.Buffer Memory: 2 MB.Drive Type: Internal DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive. The LG GH24NS50 24x review shows the LG DVD burner to be a strong producer of speed and reliability. The reliability part works when you couple it with the correct computer parts and computer software. It is a very fast dvd burner at 24x and is basically the new high standard for everybody to yield up too. Some have these speeds, but they aren't consistent or the buffer underrun is very weak and it can't handle the data its transmitting if it loses speed. This can artificially increase the time taken to burn a dvd.
