Xpert IO LigthScribe Drive CD-RW, DVD-RW, USB 3.0)

This xPert Lighscribe USB3 DVD Printer and Burner is excellent.I could NOT get my LaCie d2 Lighscribe DVD Printer & Burner to function for long on my new Windows 8.1 x64 bit USB3 Desktop (and I mistakenly blamed the Verbatim & HP Lighscribe disks and reinstalled the software many, many times to no avail)... but this xPert USB3 Lighscribe DVD Printer and Burner is even better than the LaCie EVER was or any of the other three Lighscribe Printer/Burners I've had; with the xPert you only have to print ONCE to get a deep, dark print whereas all other older Lighscribe printers took two prints and twice as long to get the same results.A full face Lighscribe design print takes between 22 and 25 mins, and a simple label takes just under 5mins. So far I have printed 15 full face DVD-R Lighscribe disks and 12 simple Lighscribe CD-R disks perfectly on first print, something that was never possible in the past!The xPert feels very light even though its case is metal, however I would not want to carry it around as I am not sure just how robust the internal mechanism is.I use the Lighscribe Control Panel and SureThing SE 6 with the xPert.My only criticism about delivery is that I would have liked the option of a 'next day' courier service, which should only cost another couple of quid on top of the £4.75 delivery that took five days, but it was well worth the wait!

The drive is pretty good, it's actually a HP drive in a really nice brushed aluminium caddy. Drive is a little bit noisy at full speed but quick at burning a disc. Although it will burn discs out of the box with Windows 10 and CDBurnerXP, LightScribe functionality requires an additional download (Google "cdburnerxp lightscribe" for instructions). My only gripe is it'd be nice for there to be a soft carry pouch included.

VERY GOOD CAN USE ON ALL PCS

Recently obtained. Easy to use, no set up and used several times already. Note one review saying lightscribe discs being discontinued?I like it, much smaller than my previous one and without a power pack.

My Lightscribe burner is now lying redundant at the back of my draw as well and it's not even two years old. The reason for this I found out that they aren't making anymore Lightscribe discs, they are being fazed out.

Just as required

excellent, as described

Perfect
