The drive is supplied in a substantial cardboard box that is decorated in an attractive-looking red livery. This should provide the drive with more than enough protection during shipping. The front of the box contains a lone product photo with a small amount of information about the drive.
Turning the box over reveals a more detailed breakdown of the drive's features along with its detailed specifications. For some reason, LiteOn has chosen to colour the back of the box blue which isn't exactly complementary to the otherwise red finish.
Inside the box we find the drive within a substantial cardboard carton which adds an extra level of protection. Aside from the drive, we find a quick-installation guide, a USB cable and a copy of Nero 8 Essentials (for Windows).
Liteon are a good optical drive maker, always buy them for internal DVD drives for my system builds. This time however id like to get a usb 2 powered blu ray unit, like the one zardon reviewed last month in the HQV article. seems to make more sense in 2010 for media options also.
This is a very good product, interesting to see more of these reviews on kitguru, rather than just the high end cpus and graphics cards. monitors and these little items are great reads.
Very cool idea of using macintosh computers now and then. like to see a balance on tech sites.
Seems the first thing to go on Netbook and ultra light Notebook computers is the DvD R/W. This small USP plug and play fills my need for a DvD on both a Netbook and a Ultra light.
