Someone may thing that Toshiba doesn't make good quality hard drives. You are mistaken. Older Toshiba hard drives were slow and did have many returns/error rates. Toshiba has certainly stepped up and if anyone likes technology and keeps up with it; Seagate had gone downhill but Toshiba has stepped up.
Nice small drive, doesn't take up much space or create much heat. Not noisy as some may complain about hard drives.

Nice Product and Efficient

I'm a huge fan of AMD (ATI) but the R9 series had driver/heat issues.
I thought I'd give NVidia gpus 1 more try. The results were great. No driver issues, Not heat issues and slightly more efficient then AMD's counterparts. Paired with an i7 4820k until I move up to an i7 5820k or 5930k =)
As any tech in the world, always look for the bang for the bottom dollar. Always research what you buy.

Looking for the fastest drive in the market but already have software? Then the BDR-209DBK is the drive for you. The BDR-209DBK drive is perfect for system builders, for those looking to upgrade to a fast Blu-ray burner, or for those who already have software. The BDR-209DBK is an internal SATA drive.

Great Blu-Ray Burner

Great blu-ray burner. I like the look it's simple and to the point. I didn't install it in a computer tower; yet I put it in an "external 5.25 USB case". If you use any external case, you "must" use Vantec. No other cases come close in quality.
The burner has a great laser in terms of how fast it "reads, scans, writes". Pioneer uses a great proprietary laser, I don't know if other brands are as good. LG may come in 2nd.
Almost forgot, there is NO retail software to my knowledge that this comes with. Meaning, if you believe you can "watch" blu-ray through this kit, it may not happen. You may have to get your own 3rd party software.

The item works fine. It was installed in a 2003 ES 300.
Being an elite plus member, it helped; in regards to shipping. I needed the item fast and Best Buy came through. Came directly from Metra.

What's not so great: It's needed to upgrade your radio, but how can you argue ?

I love Intel. I've been building PC's for 10 years now. I chose Intel due to the company offering new standards with technology. Now here's why I "didn't go with AMD". I believe in products for the best bottom dollar. AMD is cheaper, it's nice...but "not efficient at all and doesn't offer PCI Express 3.0". It's a shame though, if AMD bought "ATI" and they are labeled the best CPU/Company for gaming, than what am I missing here ? You're known for gaming but can't offer the newer standard "controller/slots" for your equipment ? Intel has way better TDP and it's efficient. If you go with higher end AMD CPU's, they "heat and electricity" are crazy; not to mention once again "NO PCI E 3.0". So thank you Intel, I will continue to buy your products and "also", I am an AMD customer too...I love their graphics cards and I do have their 8-core CPU's.
