So far mine is working really well. Its probably one of the best bargains right now. As for the best media I think most media is gonna work with this drive you just have to find out what media works best with your dvd player or ps2 or whatever your using it for. Also mine is only 2x and i use nero for burning.

how did you get nero to read your burner? i have tried to get it to read and it could not. i tried nero 5.0 and 5.5. what else programs will work with it. the one that came with is sucks. it will not let you use the copying on a dvdr disc

I got the 5002 a week ago and it's great so far. The full version of Nero 5.5 works fine for me, perhaps you have an OEM version, one loose ah?
