Hewlett Packard dvd1040i DVD-RAM Burner: Works OK

Thu, 8 May 2008 19:29:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mewalther - I bought this mainly for storage and backups. Have had the unit about a year, and it died after about 120 DVD Backups. Lightscribe is pretty cool but it is very slow and it makes you wonder if it causes wear and tear on the write...

Sony DRU840A DVD-RAM Burner: Read the fine print

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:34:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msarr41956 - I purchased this with the impression that all the software for making this unit fully functional was included. The Nero 7 software is for the burning function but the playback function in Nero Show time is only a trial version which will not function...

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:54:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kernow - This is my first Lightscribe equipped burner, and to be honest I wasn't sure if it was the technology for me. I had read reviews of poor contrast, many folks saying stick with inkjet printers, but I wanted to reduce the cost of consumables so I thought I...

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:05:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author schuld66 - The burner works well. The only problem I had was getting it to work while I had my CD burner installed also. To fix it, I had to remove the CD burner and then the DVD burner worked fine. Not sure why this happened. I had the jumpers set correctly,...

Thu, 6 Mar 2008 19:54:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author electcust - I bought the internal model and it's a piece of trash. When I called tech support to describe the problems it was having they didn't even ask me any questions or try to fix it, they told me take it back to the store or mail it to them and they'd send me...

Hewlett Packard dvd940e Burner: Died: Horrible Customer Support

Mon, 3 Mar 2008 21:10:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rincon-rob - It worked for about seven months. DVD's and CD's burned on the unit would not work on other machines. Only LightScribe worked. Calls to CS dropped three times. Escalated to Case Manager level by calling the CEO's office and getting forwarded. Case...

Lite On LH-20A1HX DVD±RW Dual Layer Burner: Started Making Noise right out of Box

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:53:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tmkiefer22 - I bought this as a second DVD RW external USB burner. It makes a great deal of noise when first turned on, but quiets down after a disk as been in for a minute or two. Most of the performance otherwise has been OK, but I would not recommend Lite-ON for...

BenQ CRW 4012EU CD-RW Burner: "Portable" CD burner - more or less

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:52:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dusksunset - I've heard that some new lightweight laptop computers have no CD or DVD drives as part of their need for slimness. But people who own them may sometimes need to install new software or backup their hard drives. That's when a BenQ CRW 4012EU CD-RW Burner...

LG GGC-H20L DVD-RAM Burner: Still have HD-DVDs?

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 15:33:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nad_masters - It's hard to write that title as if HD-DVD is dead. I mean they are still being sold, even though Toshiba (the major backer of HD-DVD) backed down from the format. Also, there were many people who purchased HD-DVD players during the holiday season...

NEC AD-7173 (4582262910113) Burner: NEC AD-7173A DVDRW - Time to turn on the afterburner!

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:41:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tech-reviews - Introduction Bluray and HDDVD (to some extent) are gathering ground, so why a review about a DVDRW unit? Well, the answer is as simple as it is logical. DVD is still totally dominant today on the market, mainly because of the pricing on media and...

LaCie d2 DVD±RW Dual Layer Burner: Worked great for 18 months, then died

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:48:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rbaruch - It was a great value at first. I liked the sleek form factor, and the USB and Firewire 400 capabilities. But then the drive died after 19 months of use. Opening the case (which voids the expired warranty) reveals an IDE-to-USB/FW400 converter and an...

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 14:37:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author taptapper - Overall I am very happy with this drive. It is robust and happily married to the Nero suite. Other drive/software pairs that I've tried freeze if there are too many other apps open, or if you browse your hard drive, or if the wind blows too hard...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ougrad - I have had this just over a year and have had spotty performance with the DVD reader. If you put in a commercial movie or game DVD there is only a 50% chance of this LG product actually working. What a piece of junk. This issue is on at least THREE...
