I think for the price it's worth the risk of it not working to your expectations. It met mine just fine. I see no reason why it would not be compatible with your system as long as you have SATA connections, and burning speed would be affected by your system's ability. If you want lightscribe search for it, but be prepared to pay the price.

Well, this burner will work on almost all desktops. It will work as long as your PC supports SATA, as this is a SATA drive. This burner does not support lightscribe, but it will burn normal DVD and CD. This is a 24x drive, so I guess burning at 2.4x won't be a problem.

I can't say for sure, but I'd think it would have more to do with your OS and having a SATA controller port. I installed this in a Dell XPS quad processor running Windows Vista, and it was strictly PnP. The OS recognized it immediately, loaded drivers, and I was burning. I've had no need to change the default burn speed either, so I can't speak to that. But at this price, I'd take the shot. You can always return it.

I have an older compaq presario and it worked on it, I did have to get an adapter because my optical drive was IDE but according to the specs yours should be Sata and that's what this takes. You do need to get a Sata cord though cause mine didn't come with one. Not so sure about the lightscribe ...from my understanding all this does is inscribe labels on your discs. I can't tell you the speed it burns at but I do know mine don't take an unreasonable amount of time.

It looks like it should. Your pc has SATA interface now for its optical drive, if I read the literature correctly. I think the issue would be the OS your are using and if you have the proper drivers for the interface between the OS and the drive.

As long as your computer uses SATA connections it should be compatible. It says it burns at 24 X speed. It does not have lightscribe which allows you to print labels directly to the CD/DVD, using discs that are made for lightscribe. As I said in my review I found this drive to be extremely noisy and was not impressed at all with it. You might want to consider another drive. Any cd/dvd with a sata connection should work, and if you're not using the lightscribe why pay extra for it.

Brian Short answer...........I personally don't know. You are better off asking this question to Adobe tech support to see if their database of supported burners include this one....compatibility. Also see this web page http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/sharing-dvd-or-blu-ray.html Here is the list of compatible drives from Adobe............this does not mean it is update & completely accurate. http://kb2.adobe.com/jp/cps/860/cpsid_86003/attachments/pre_device_list.pdf I don't use Adobe Premiere Elements so I can't comment on personal experience.

Lightscribe is just an image printing onto the disc - you need to use lightscribe enabled disc to do the image - try going to www.lightscribe.com to get a better idea of what lightscribe means - this unit does burn both CD and DVD media -

I purchased LG's Slim -External Super Multi DVD Rewritter last January. works perfectly, trouble free and interface is Identical to my previous internal burner. Finish images are as good as any lightscribe I have seen.Software that came with the unit was out of date, but LG's Tech Service provide updates, all was without incident. I strongly recommend this unit.

I might not have the correct terminology. I originally ordered the Toshiba Samsung TS-L632 Internal DVD±RW LightScribe DVD±R DL IDE/PATA Slim Drive Burner for my Laptop but it was the wrong DVD ROM. It was IDE/PATA and I needed SATA. I returned this one. I then ordered the Toshiba 8x Sata Internal Slimline Dvd Burner Emergency Eject Hole Limited Quantities . The one I have is TS-L633M. This one came with LightScribe but was never mentioned in the description. When I did the review I might've done the wrong DVD ROM on the wrong item. I apologize if I did. I have the Toshiba 8x Sata Internal Slimline Dvd Burner Emergency Eject Hole Limited Quantities. It is a great DVD ROM. I hope I was of some help. I might not have the correct terminology.

Dear E. Hamilton, good morning. I confess you this All-in-one was a big disappointment for me, because I expected a quick and efficient machine and it wasn't what I found. It does not read blu-ray and the dvd/ cd burner stopped working since the beginnig. I do not recommend it for you. Best regards, Edney

I am ready to buy and I really like this model. I do not know much about laptops.Can I burn DVDs and CDs with this model.

Yes, it's a blu-ray burner and it works extremely well and it uses BD-R and BD-R DL discs like these: Optical Quantum 25GB 4X BD-R Logo Top Spindle - 25 pcs Ridata BDR-254-RDCB15 4X 25 GB BD-R Cakebox (15 Pack) Verbatim 97090 25 GB 2x Blu-ray Single-Layer Recordable Disc BD-R LTH (Low to High), 20-Disc Spindle Verbatim 96909 50 GB 2x Blu-ray Double-Layer Branded Recordable Disc BD-R DL,10-Disc Spindle

It comes with a light scribe software of some kind. I'm not sure what version because I don't use it. However, I'm sure it'll will work with windows 7 and 8. I have a Mac and needed to install parallels to enable the lightscribe feature. The only thing you need a computer for, with this machine, is for creating lightscribe menus. If you're simply duplicating DVDs, it works on its own.

I have a notebook that didn't come with a cd player and I have a external lightscribe. I can get it to work with Windows 8 cd's but I can't get it to do DVD's. I need to see if there is an update for it to windows 8.

It is plug and play for RW CD's or DVD's. If you want to use Lightscribe (Laser burning label maker direct to a disk)which is part of it, you will need additional software. Software is available free for the Windows platform, but you will want to search before you buy it for a Mac. It works great with windows 8.

I don't have any Apple computers. however the unit works very well on my Dell Sys (Studio XPS) I have included the manufacturers data and it does reference Mac so.... here you are hope it helps Kanguru Solutions Kanguru DVDRW DriveThe Kanguru DVDRW Drive provides high speed DVD and CD burning for PC, Notebook and Mac users. Dual Layer technology allows youto burn nearly twice as much data (up to 8.5GB) to a single disc, allowing you to create high quality DVDs. The LightScribe label burning allows you to burn custom labels onto your LightScribe compatible CD or DVD media. Simply plug the drive into an available USB port for instant access to a 24x DVD/RW drive.

I can only comment based on my experience of over 10 years and thousands of DVD-Rs and DVD+R DL; some optical drive burners have problems burning to certain manufacturers' blank discs. My Plextor won't even recognize the presence of TDK brand discs. The LG Blu-ray burner will burn to Optimum DVD+DL discs but the results are always questionable; during playback the player can't find the second layer. I quit using Optimum brand discs as a result. And I've had DVD burners that worked like a champ for three or four years that suddenly started screwing up requiring their replacement. Nothing electronic works forever. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer to your problem.

Keith, I am able to run a .2.0 DVD player without the hub power adaptor using my Acer Surface Pro (Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center). But this device can not burn a DVDs I did not have any other devices plugged into the hub. To burn a DVD with a USB 3.0 DVD Burner on A Surface Pro machine, I had to plug the power adapter into the hub. Remember if you are running Windows 8 that came installed on the machine (or 8.1) and have not upgraded to Pro and added the WMC, Windows 8 has no native software to play or burn a DVD. You need to upgrade to Pro with WMC or purchase a 3rd party app to play or burn DVDs personally I like Cyberlink's Media Suite 11 available in the Windows 8 store.

If your notebook is few years old and came with at least Windows 7 you should be good to go. All you will need is to buy third party software (Cyberlink, Nero, or Corel: examples only) to fully enable Blu-Ray burning and playing. If you are trying to prolong the life of an older notebook it will depend on several factors not just drive firmware. One factor is the operating system installed, Windows XP bad, at least Windows 7 good. The hardware configuration of your notebook is important, CPU, GPU, and amount of memory, should meet HD and Blu-Ray requirements. If the CPU is too weak such as an older single core Pentium or Celeron, I would recommend that you just stop and buy a new cheap notebook for around $250.00 to $350.00. If the graphics card is too old and weak and not ready for HD, stop and buy a new notebook. The memory limitations of that notebook may also be a problem. The least amount I would run is 8 GB of Ram but go no less than 4 gigs. Research at HP support and also HP community blogs with the notebook exact model number Presario CQ60-xxxx. I looked but without the full model number I could not discern from the numerous models which specs applied to the CQ60 you have. A work around that I did to keep using an old notebook was to buy an external Blu-Ray burner-player, upgraded to Windows 7 Pro (OEM) from Windows XP, it worked great for a time, eventually had to realize I needed a new notebook, cheaper and easier in the long run. I used Cyberlink Power2Go 8 for burning and Corel WinDVD Pro for playing Blu-Ray. Sorry for the long response and good luck.
