1.0 out of 5 stars Shipped the wrong drive twice, October 22, 2004

By	Leif Erickson "Electronics Guru" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Have never had any problems with Amazon before, but this time they kept shipping the wrong drive and now they are refunding the purchase price. I don't want a refund, I want the drive I ordered since they still show it to be in stock. Had problems with Buy.com before and they made everything right - a good retailer. Return shipping was free so that was nice, but still no drive and had the hassle of having to go to UPS drop off twice.

5.0 out of 5 stars You've been shipped the wrong drive, July 8, 2006

By	Terrel Kareem "Keymaster" (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One reviewer claimed this is just a CD-RW drive not a combo drive as advertised. Not so, the SOHC-5232K is a combo drive, but the drive they shipped was not a SOHC-5232K.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but does not come with cd writing software, July 5, 2006

By	Gunjan Gupta "Gunjan" (Austin, TX, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Worked as claimed, only problem- there was no accompanying cd burning software with it. But then at the price I got it, it was still worth it. Free udf writing software from HP worked fine with it.

This is actually just a CD-RW drive, not a DVD-ROM drive as advertised. Do not buy it if you planning to play DVD because it will not work. Read more
