Sony AD-7280S-0B 24x SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive (Black)

Customer Reviews. I bought this DVD drive for my new computer build. I didn't want Blu-Ray; I just needed a basic DVD drive to install software and make the occasional backup. This drive has SATA power and data, it's from Sony, and it's your basic DVD +/- RW drive. It works very well, no problems. Best feature for me: the fact that it has no white branding on the drawer front. It's perfectly black and unobtrusive (yes, there is some molded branding, but no huge white lettering as with other DVD drives in this price range). It suits my needs perfectly. It also has a large rectangular eject button, which I personally like better than a small round button. Being a bare-bones drive, be aware that it comes with NOTHING else but the drive. No cables, no software, no screws include. You will need to supply your own SATA cables (power from your computer's PSU and data) and screws, if your case needs them. The drive doesn't need any drivers or software to work--Windows takes care of that automatically. (I am using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit). The drive I received came in a small box with foam buffers at each end and the drive suspended in the middle, then packed within a larger box with air cushioning for shipping. It arrived in perfect condition. Overall, I'm giving this drive 5-stars because it just does what it's supposed to do, nothing more nothing less, with kudos to Sony for using no obtrusive branding.
