Great DVD Drive,
By
This review is from: I/O Magic Internal DVD+/-RW Drive (IDVDRW8D) (IDVDRW8D) (Electronics)
The problems most people encountered with this drive are causedby the fact that some people purchase a better quality drive than others, even though they come from an identical retail box. This is because I/O Magic repackages and resells Optorite DVD Drives (DD0401, DD0405). Recently they started reselling BTC drives. Optorite drives are higher quality than BTC, so check the back of the box at what drive you are purchasing. Another reason is a great variance in the quality of DVD media available on the market. These are the only certified high speed media for this drive as of this writing (Fall 04): YUDEN000T01 RICOHJPNR01 MCC 002 CMC MAG F01 The above media are sold under brand names: Memorex 4x, TDK 4x, Maxell 4x, and Sony 4x, and Verbatim 4x. There are no 8x speed DVD blanks available. However, Memorex DVD+R 4x and SONY DVD+R 4x could be spinned faster than 4x, close to 10Mb/s. Even with a correct media you would still need to flash the drive to enable higher speeds. After the flashing the drive works great, flawless operation and not a single failure using any of several types of media.

STAY AWAY!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: I/O Magic Internal DVD+/-RW Drive (IDVDRW8D) (IDVDRW8D) (Electronics)
After 1 defective drive and 4 coasters, I would say this drive has by far been one of the biggest computer headaches I've ever dealt with. It doesn't burn at 8x even with the appropriate media. If you are planning on backing up home movies, I would strongly urge against this drive as the backups I have made freeze at the 12 minute mark. Back to the store!

Ok, but having problems,
By Stephan Henrichson (Central Islip, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I/O Magic Internal DVD+/-RW Drive (IDVDRW8D) (IDVDRW8D) (Electronics)
When I put a DVD+R in the drive it takes forever to load and it hangs up and i have to keep starting the computer again. Packet Writing works only on DVD+RW and DVD+R it can't read the last session that is read and it reads as a Blank Disc.
