Cons Bundled software not the best. Cannot always play discs it creates?
Recommended it? Yes

I like this drive. I'm not sure why the last guy gave this drive only 3 stars. I give it 4, at least. I have burned bulk non-branded DVD-RW (and repeatedly overwritten) and DVD R media that I bought from an online wholesaler and I have had almost no problems playing these DVDs in numerous other DVD...

Pros Multiple formats
Cons Difficult installation Poor Software No Blank Media Need to download Driver
Recommended it? No

I purchased A Sony DRX-510UL. Installation is a nightmare if you aren't running XP or 2000.
The first problem is that the drivers and software are on a DVD. I bought this device because I didn't have a DVD so how am I expected to install the driver. Well, in real small print among the 5... Read full review »

Pros Reliable, fast, large Cache buffer, Quiet, SIMPLE installation!
Cons I guess it would not hurt to drop the price a bit.
Recommended it? Yes

I was in the market for an External DVD burner. So the research began. I needed a drive that could back up large amounts of Files on my PC, Make "Backup" copies of DVD movies, But most of all I wanted a way to create DVDs of my own Camcorder vacation tapes.
I had the search narrowed down to 2... Read full review »

Pros Easy installation, easy use.
Cons Not much.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently picked up a toshiba laptop; most of them do not come with DVD burners (which I wanted). I looked around for an external DVD burner and found this one, but it was too expensive. I found one on craigslist for $80, so I bought it. So far, the DVDs I burned seem to work fine. I'm happy with... Read full review »

Great Drive, Rotten Software

Pros External Firewire and USB1 or 2 Many Formats Sony Reliability
Cons Requires Power Source Veritas RecordNow Poor Slower than internal More expensive...
Recommended it? No

I should have waited to buy this drive. I paid way too much for it. It is exactly what I wanted, however. This burns any type of DVD or CD and works through two types of firewire interfaces as well as USB 2.0. I have USB 1 at home and it worked fine as well. I almost wish I had gotten a lower-end...

Pros NO PROs
Cons The DVD burner is a joke!
Recommended it? No

The SONY DVD burner is not what people expect from a good brand DVD burner. Most of the DVDs that I burned DO NOT RUN on my PC (hp pavilion 5385, Pentium IV, 2.6G,512Mb RAM, from last year...)or even on DVD players. The DVDs are accepted only by a Sony DVD player or by the SONY DVD burner itself. I... Read full review »
