This is a real NEC chipset drive unlike the 7220, which was a liteon oem. It also uses a chipset that is 90nm instead of 150nm and uses about half the power on the chipset. From what's known so far, this is a very good burning drive that even does pretty good quality 24x burns.
Nec drives don't necessarily have the best error correcting when reading.
None
None really....
The first drive failed within a few hours of use and was extremely loud. The replacement drive failed after a couple of weeks. It returns many errors and cannot read a DVD or CD on boot up or in Windows or Linux. And forget about trying to write. I have tried it in more than one computer and still nothing.
Not worth even trying another Sony Optiarc drive again! Am replacing with another brand.
