Strengths: Great quality - name brand, affordable, great for black cases
Weaknesses: Ripping speed is not as fast as should be for 16X and it makes a scratchy noise when drive is opening/closing
Summary: Minor weaknesses for the price and quality of this drive. I've had it for a month and it works great. Can't beat the quality and looks of the drive for the price.

Strengths: for the price and the quality Liteon has always been a product i have chosen over other name brands
Weaknesses: none that i am aware of equipment i use from lieon has not failed
Summary: Instead of going out and buying a more expensive

brand name buy LITE ON cd,dvd,cd-rw drives.

I build PC's and whenever I can get a LITE ON

(sometimes hard to get) I buy it and use it.

Try LITE ON you won't be sorry.

Strengths: Excellent value for the money. The black bezel is perfect for modded Cases. CD and CD-R transfer rates outperform most competitors. Extremely quiet playing DVD-Videos.
Weaknesses: Spindle speeds reduce when reading from some pressed CDs, especially with random accesses. The drive could improve DAE quality with more damaged CDs and improve error correction with audio CDs.
Summary: The Lite-On LTD163 offers extremely quiet playback withough hindering performance. Since the Lite-On LTD163 spins at very low RPMs (1X?) during movie playback, the drive also remains very cool. This makes the drive expecially good for modders or for those who want to keep a quiet and cool running PC.

Strengths: For the price you can't go wrong. I read a lot of good things about Lite-On and so far this DVD player works well. It's quiet and plays DVD movies perfectly, loading them quickly.
Weaknesses: Ripping DVDs is a little slow. Although it has 16X read speed, so far I have peeked at about 8X. Could be my configuration because other reviews said it was fast. Lite-On tech support was useless.
Summary: Overall I am very happy with the Lite-On and would recommend it to anyone. The price makes it especially appealing and I am hoping to get higher read speeds by tweaking my configuration.

1 Star ReviewWill never buy any liteon products again. This one ...
Strengths: Fast
Weaknesses: Terribly unreliable reading, low quality.
Summary: Will never buy any liteon products again. This one is a piece of junk. The DVDs and video-cds that play perfectly well with my 2 Pioneer dives completely fail with lite-on. Perhaps the hardware and software inside this piece of crap is designed by cheap outsources working for $0.1/hour.

Strengths: Good quality name brand - Lite-On.
Weaknesses: Drive so not come with any good software to watch DVD's but not really a big deal.
Summary: Good price and love the Lite-On brand. Could have gotten other drives for much cheaper but saw the Lite On name and went for the few extra dollars.
