ASIN: B0007VBQ5A

Product Description

The perfect compatibility with all types of DVD. High reliability with buffer under run prevention technology. Stylish design. Easy to carry on, easy to access for both desktop and notebook.

Amazon.com Product Description

The GSA-5163D Super-Multi triple-format external DVD drive from LG Electronics gives you an incredible 16x maximum DVD burn speed and 5x DVD-RAM writing. And you'll never have to worry about compatibility, since this drive is compatible with all DVD formats: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM. What's more, it also supports dual-layer DVD+R (8.5 GB) and has one USB 2.0 port and a pair of IEEE 1394/FireWire ports.

Now you can store almost 4 hours of video, hundreds of MP3 files, and gigs of original music, photos, or data, and burning your media will be faster and easier than before. The recorder also performs burns on rewritable media at 8x for DVD+RW and 6x for DVD-RW and up to 40x for CD-R and 24x for CD-RW. With the DVD "plus" format, you'll enjoy full compatibility with most DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives.

DVD+RW discs require no finalizing: you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing. It's perfect for making your own DVD movies and transferring home videotapes to DVD.

The GSA-5163D's 2 MB buffer uses SuperLink buffer-underrun error protection to ensure accurate burns every time. Supplied software consists of Ahead's Nero Express (CD/DVD recording software), Nero BackItUp (back-up software), Ahead's InCD (UDF packet-writing software), Cyberlink PowerProducer Gold2 (DVD authoring tool), and Cyberlink PowerDVD (DVD playback software). Burn fast, burn right with the LG GSA-5163D.

Trouble free and great performer for MacOS X.......2006-03-24

This drive is great, trouble free right out of the box, great performance, and totally compatible with OSX 10.4 and iLife.

Recomended for any mac user.

So far so good..........2006-03-09

Tech support for NERO is horrible but tech support for the actual product is great. It wouldn't work on my desktop but it works beautifully on my lap top. Go figure...

Solid performer.......2006-03-03

I have to agree with all the reviewers who have praised the solidity and performance of this burner. The only reason I'm adding a review is that one person said it worked with a USB 1.1 port. I found the opposite -- it wouldn't work at all until I added a USB 2 port to both my systems (cost about $16 each) and after that it was fat and happy.

After about a month of ownership, swapping it back and forth between my Windows ME and Windows XP systems, I haven't encountered any problems either writing or reading. I can recommend this burner without reservation, and the price was certainly right.

Good DVD Writer.......2006-03-01

The speed is great and the software bundle is also useful. It also functions as a reader, but I have primarily used it as a writer.

Great right out of the box.......2006-02-24

The external CD burner worked perfect right out of the box. I've used it to burn music and video with great results. It's faster than my computers internal burner which is several year old and only burners music CD. One complaint, it ships with Nero software which is easy to use but it's not the full version of Nero. There are some functions I would like to use but would have to pay for the full version.

Excellent choice.......2006-01-23

I bought this burner when it was released in January 2005. Friends of mine in Japan sent me DVD-RAM disc with some of my favourite tv shows and i found that my (then new) dvd player could not play it. I also wanted to burn my home movies to DVD's. Those were the main reasons i bought it. Im pleased to report that this burner plays the aforementioned DVD-RAM disc perfectly and it has never given me a drink coaster when i needed to burn something fast. Its still operating as good as the day i installed it. Another great point is that its the quietest cd/dvd drive that i have used even when it is at its maximum speed. If your computer case has limited space then this drive will help a great deal because its about 4cm shorter than most other drives available.

I really can't say anything bad about this product. It plays and records every current format (not blu ray and HD dvd but they won't matter for a long time). It was also very reasonably priced. If you the chance to buy one of these drives or any of the later models co-produced by Hitachi and LG then take it. I wouldn't bother considering any other brands because this one does everything so well.

swiss army burner.......2005-11-02

So far, this device has burned everything I have thrown at it with no problems whatsoever. The only thing I have not tried yet is a DVD-RAM. One thing slightly annoying about it is that when you are burning, the LED on the front does not change from green to red as in some other burners I have used. It would be helpful to have a visual indicator that it is actually doing something other than just spinning. All in all a great burner at a great price.

Works great, using Linux.......2005-10-26

I am probably the minority here, but I live 100% MS free, and run all my stuff on Linux. Specifically, I am using Mandrake (now Mandriva) version 10.1 on this machine. This drive worked right out of the box, recognized as a standard IDE drive, and k3b (my cd/dvd burning app of choice) recognized and setup for this drive with no hitch. Have burned a number of CD's and DVDs (write once, Data only) without any problems.

have not tried any r/w media or burned any multimedia stuff (movies, audio cds etc), but am quite happy so far with the drive.

Great Burner, does it all.......2005-10-18

I bought one of these LG DVD burners a year ago for my computer and liked it so much I bought another one for my son's computer this year. It does every format under the sun (including DVD-RAM which works great with a DVD-RAM camcorder). It is quite compared to all other CD/DVD drives I've heard and an incredible value.

Great while it lasted.......2005-10-09

I agreed with the other reviewers and would have given this drive 5 stars if I had written a review earlier. It installed perfectly and ran faultless and quietly, for the first two months. Then it stopped working and refused to recognise there was even a DVD in the drive. The breakdown was sudden. It wrote a DVD and then it stopped recognising any disks. I tried it in another machine with the same problem so it is the hardware.

I wont pretend that my experience is typical but it may have something to do with the fact that this is a cheap drive and maybe you really do get what you pay for. I'm not trying to put you off this drive but if you do a lot of DVD writing then maybe a better drive might work longer.

Good Recorder/Average Software.......2004-12-27

I bought this recorder three weeks ago and it works well. A previous reviewer complained about the tray being too wide. I ran into that problem on my Dell. I had to make sure the recorder was pushed all the way to the front of my computer so I could move the flexible frame of the computer a little to allow the tray to open. It worked and opens and closes, however Pioneer should have seen this coming and designed better. The player recorder works just fine, but the software makes me mad. You will likely have to buy new software and I feel cheated by Pioneer and Ulead for including software that is only lacking in handling Dolby. If you have a recording with Dolby audio the software will not handle the audio. Why do they do that? If I buy new software it definitely won't be Ulead because I feel cheated by them. All my recordings on my TV settop DVD recorder are in Dolby so how am I supposed to edit, etc. DVD's recorded on my settop DVD recorder?

Drive is great, ulead software is good but not perfect.......2004-12-16

The speed of this drive and software was much better than the other DVD burner and Intervideo software I had. pcmag.com rated this drive very good which seems to be accurate. There was a sound problem I had when playing back some recorded piano music, I reported the problem on the ulead web site and they responded in a day with the existing fixes available on the web site; however, I am still having a sound problem on certain videos. I think it is because I changed the amount of sound bits in the middle of the recording and the software cannot handle it, but software should not fail when this happens. I have now purchased Adobe Premier Elements and Photoshop Elements together instead and it was able to detect the sound bit change. The ulead software is the current release which is good at least.

DVD Tray Too Wide.......2004-12-08

I was unable to use this DVD drive and had to return it because the tray is too wide. Most DVD drives give you about a 1/2" clearence on the sides, but this tray gos compeletely to the edge. Once I put the case back on the computer, the tray could not eject. If they would redesign the tray to be more compatible with Dell PC's and others, then this would be a good drive.

Fast, Stylish Burner & Great Software.......2004-10-19

A fast 16x burner from Pioneer with a easy to use and versatile software suite included with it. I'm now a fan of Ulead's CD burning and DVD conversion/burning software. It requires little exploration to burn a DVD from nearly any video file. 16x media isn't out yet so a 4.7 GB burn takes about 7 min at 8x. The black bezel matches with my custom case too.

Great for servers but poor for multimedia & gaming rigs........2005-08-11

I've had this unit for several months in my home office to control 8 servers/PC's. Overall, it works great and is easy to install and setup. It functions just fine for office or server environments. The unit itself is very heavy weight and seems built quite rugged. I'd have no reservations purchasing these units for my company to control servers.

But, at my home office I'm connecting to a high-end multimedia PC for movie and music viewing/editing and also a high-end gaming rig. I have a superb quality flat panel LCD monitor that requires 1280x1024 60Hz and my high end PC's have the latest and top-o-the-line graphics cards. Still, the IOGear KVM is pretty shaky as it passes the video signal. All PC's/servers have faint horizontal scan lines that constantly go vertically up the screen and the fine details are, well, the best I can describe it is static like interference looking. Fine edges of certain aspects of the OS or applications are just fuzzy. Even trying to read text can be a bit bothersome as they are not sharp. It is really annoying in gaming, but you can learn to live with it if a lack of perfection does not bother you too much. No adjustments that I can make have made any improvement on the quality. My previous KVM from APEX (Outlook) passed the video near perfectly (until a lightning strike took it out), but of course the cost is much higher.

All in all, a good buy for a server room/farm but for gaming/multimedia enthusiasts, you may be annoyed and disappointed with the video quality.

Excellent Product and Cables included.......2004-09-12

Easy to set up. Just plug your ps2 beyboard and mouse as well as your VGA monitor into the white area in the back of the IOGEAR device, then connect the included cables to your other devices and to the ports in the back of the IOGEAR device and you are ready to go.
For my installation, there were no problems with either the mouse or keyboard that are common with KVMs and the emulation they use. Everything works as though the computers are connected directly to the Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor. There is a slight delay (.5 second) when switching between computers but this is minimal. The OSD (on screen display) allows you to switch between computers by simply hitting the Control Key twice and then using the arrows to select the appropriate computer and then hitting enter.

Since cables usually cost as much as the kvm, it was nice they were included. I see people spending 250 dollars on ebay for KVM's that are older and without the cables. It seems newer technology is better since they seemed to have worked out the emulation bugs.
The included cables are heavy-duty and molded. The unit also fits into a rack and includeds the hardware to mount it there. Otherwise, it seems sturdy enough to place the monitor on top of.

I highly recommend this unit.
