5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great drive, April 3, 2006

This review is from: Sony DRU-820A Internal DVD+/-RW 16X Double/Dual Layer and Dual Format DVD Drive (Personal Computers)

I used this drive to replace the replace the CD-ROM in my PC and now have two DVD burners in my machine - both Sony. I just unplugged and removed the CD drive, inserted and plugged in the DRU-820A, turned on my PC and I was up and running. I've burned more than twenty 16x DVDs since getting this drive last week and have experienced no problems at all. My other Sony DVD writer, a DRU-530A, has been in my PC for two years and has been flawless, so at this point I'm not expecting any problems with reliability.

OK Drive. Has problems burning DVD-R video disks. Though burning completes successfully, DVD-R disks (tried several different high quality brands)aren't read well by a temperamental DVD player. Same disks burn fine on other DVD burner.
