DVD+R burning speed is a blazing 20X maximum, burning a full DVD in approximately 5 minutes.
Good productNovember 23, 2008 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.
Dead On ArrivalNovember 22, 2008 Unfortunately when I received this internal drive it was DOA so I cannot review it at this time. I expected very good performance, since I am satisfied with the external version of this same drive which I also own. I am only rating this drive as one star because there is no other option to assign when you receive a DOA product.
burner worksNovember 12, 2008 the dvd burner works well. The only problem i have with the burner is the software that comes with it. i have loaded and deleted the soft ware 3 times. each time i load the soft ware is freezes up my microsoft word program. when i delete the included software my works works great.
Simple and DependableNovember 3, 2008 I am constantly making slideshows for our family and friends,and when my DVD burner died, I was at a loss as to what to do next. I ordered this burner on a friend's recommendation. When it arrived, I was hesitant about installing it (I have ZERO skills in that area!) But I followed the diagram, took my computer cover off, and within a few short minutes, I had replaced the burner and was up and running again. In the past three weeks, I've made three slideshows and am working on a fourth one, and so far, it has been very dependable --- no glitches, whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this burner to anyone who needs an affordable, dependable burner for their computer.
Nice DVD writer at a bargain priceNovember 2, 2008 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 to the DRU840A. I believe the moment you install any 2 DVD burners on your XP Pro PC, you are most likely to notice this problem. I am unable to get rid of this, so as a workaround I transfer data from my CD-R to a flash drive and use it on my PC.
