This unit was a very easy install and run.

I had it out of the box, installed it and burned a CD in 30 Minutes....

Unit is quiet and burns well

Although I did not purchase this DVD Burner from amazon.com (got it at my local Electronics Retailer) I feel it is my duty to tell you call how great this product has been to me.

I am not one to deal with Computer Hardware much and have only just begun to get interested in modding and building computers, but installing this DVD Burner into my computer was really simple, and actually, alot of fun!

Not only does it Burn DVDs at a pretty sufficient rate, it also comes bundled with Nero Suite software to let you rip dvds and make cool DVD menus (though quite a bit of them are "cheap" looking") The Hardware comes with replaceable faceplate and is really fun to mess around with.

I would suggest this for anyone with a PC they are interested in upgrading.

I had owned an LG burner and from the time I got it, it never worked right. I must have made 60 or 70 coasters before I decided that it was'nt the media, it was the crappy LG brand burner. I was really afraid because there are so many burners on the market and all of them claim to be good, but as I found out with my LG experience, that is not always true.

My brother has an older model Sony burner and although his is slow, it has made a handful of coasters in the 5 years that he has owned it, so I took a chance and purchased the Sony DRU-810A. That was the best decision I could have made. I will never buy another brand burner other that Sony brand. I have had this burner about 7 or 8 months. I am a very heavy burner and I have not made one coaster.

One thing I loved about my brother's Sony burner is that I could use any brand of media. The same thing is true of the DRU-810A. I don't have to worry about where the media was manufactured or who the maker is. This burner loves everything. I had looked at the Plextor brand, but I did'nt want to pay $100.00 and I looked at NEC brand, LiteOn, BenQ. etc., but I am so happy that I passed on them all and got the Sony. It burns super fast. Some people say that it is loud, but it's not loud to me.

I got my burner from Tiger Direct for $50.00. My sister's computer came with a crappy LG brand burner too and for almost 2 years she has not been able to burn at all because she gets nothing but coasters too, so for Christmas I am buying her a Sony DUR-810A so she can finally burn some movies. For my money, this is the best burner bar none.
