5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Product, April 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony DRU-530A 8x Internal Dual Format DVD+-RW Drive (Personal Computers)

I just bought the Sony DRU530A to make backups and produce home video DVDs. The hardware installation was simple. I admit that I did not install the bundled software. I prefer Nero 6 Ultra Edition for everyday CD/DVD burning and the DRU530A works great with that software. Not a single problem. It just works! Buy this drive, you won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent burner!!, June 25, 2004

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product... but VAIO owners: beware !, May 8, 2004

I have a VAIO pc (PCV-RX480DS) and this burner is a must ! It work fine and is very easy to use. The only problem is that it doesn't fit with the VAIO faceplate. I had to cut and adjust my pc faceplate to fit the burner. Beside that, I highly recommend it !
