Rating: - Good product
Good hardware. No problems at all 40x cd's 12x DVD's. Software is DVD lite (Nero), clunky and not complete. The video part of the software hits you up to buy the upgrade immediately. I guess I get to keep the CD/DVD burning software.

I am only rating this drive as one star because there is no other option to assign when you receive a DOA product.

Rating: - Nice DVD writer at a bargain price
My old Pioneer DVD writer was too slow for my needs although for the last 3 years it had been a great workhorse. So I was looking for something faster. The SONY DRU840A perfectly fit my requirements. It is fast, no doubt about that, it is also very silent and at the price I paid ($42.00) it can't get any better than that.
Just a word of caution to buyers. If you already have a DVD writer installed on your PC and you are using XP Pro, after you install a second DVD writer for some reason the OS get confused and stops reading CD-Rs although writing is not a problem. But the issue is not due ... Read More
