Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - DVD Burner
The product is terrific. The set up is easy and operation is simple. Highly recommend this to anyone.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works well, maybe a bit large for some users
I bought this to pair up with my wife's new MacBook Air and it's proven to be dependable and quiet. She only plans to use it at home so size and mobility don't really matter. But some people may object to the Sony's large size and rather shiny exterior. Sony does offer the much smaller black DRXS70U/R Slim Line burner but it's about $40 more. The DRX840U is about the size of a hardbound edition of "War and Peace" while the DRXS70UE is the same size as "Paris Hilton, My trip to Africa". Esthetics aside, if you need a dependable DVD burner the DRX840U will probably fit the bill.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - excellent product
True plug'n'play product. I didnt care about nero/bundled software since I wanted to use some other custom burning software. Only burned 10 or so verbatims (16x dvd-r) and no coasters so far. I did notice that some software recognize the max burn speed of this device at 18x, but again, its not a big deal.

A minor gripe: I would have preferred not having to use an extra socket to power this device and just powered off of the usb.

Overall an excellent product. I had looked extensively at the hp dvd 1040e and the lite-on ones but found the reviews to be somewhat inconsistent.

The only other missing aspect is lightscribe burning capability, but I prefer a consistent dvd burning experience instead of potentially flaky but flashy burners.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Really good quality
As I mentioned in my review of the Memorex dual layer DVDs I bought at the same time as this burner, I've had no burn failures at all after burning 35 discs. This burner is well made and nice looking to boot! It's not exactly compact in size, but that only adds to the look and feel of quality. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
