Customer Reviews

A Fine, Affordable USB DVD Burner
I purchased this product a couple of weeks ago, and just started using it.It was affordable,yet has good specs,and is proving easy to set-up, and use.When I bought it, there were no reviews at Amazon for it, so I did a google search for reviews of the unit.After reading two different reviews,I decided to purchase it.This unit comes with several software programs like Nero, for cd/dvd burning.I bought this machine for making a "ghost" image of my pc's hard drive, since dvd's have so much more storage capacity than cd's.I'm still in the process of learning about "cloning" a hard drive, but have no doubt this machine will do just fine, when it comes time to do that.

This is a great dvd writer easy to install and operate. The lightscribe feature is great.

this burner won't format blank discs
i purchased this burner after reading the reviews and found out that it won't work with toshiba lap tops. I am currently using sonic dla from toshiba and for some reason i can't format blank discs from sonic or from the nero software supplied with this product. I wish that i could get a refund.
