5 out of 5 stars GREAT BURNER   June 4, 2006
I have had my burner for over 2 years and have had no problems. I had it installed by Comp USA and have 0 problems. It Makes great back up copys and perfect cd's. Watching a dvd is no problem. I would recomend this burner to anyone. I have a Gateway 933 p3 and it's a little dated but i have burned over 100 dvds. I LOVE IT!!


2 out of 5 stars great until one month after warranty expired, then #%$*&#!   May 10, 2005

This drive worked beautifully for exactly 13 months. Then, my pc wouldn't recognize it. Reinstalled it, upgraded firmware, but nada. Not a good deal.


4 out of 5 stars Good value   March 18, 2005
Fairly good burning speed for both DVD and CD-rom. Not the best but good especially considering cost.


1 out of 5 stars Bad News   December 17, 2004
  5 out of 9 found this review helpful

I think that this drive created exactly 2 readable DVDs during its lifetime, only one of which was readable by any other player.

This drive is bad news. Avoid it.

I am using this writer for the past 6 months. I never found a single problem with this writer. I have written many home and backup dvds. The burn process was always successful. For writing 4.7gb with a 4x dvd-r or +r it will just take 12 minutes. For a cd-r or +r it will hardly take 2 minutes. Although it is a little pricey, I am totally satisfied with the accuracy. It is better to put some extra bucks on the writer than wasting time on scrapping your expensive blank dvds.
