Sony DRX710UL DVD+R Double Layer External DVD+-RW Drive (16x) Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

This drive works perfectly. It's plug-and-play, so it was installed and working in seconds. The drive is extremely noisy when spinning at full speed. And, while it reads very fast, it writes somewhat slow. I have purchased a number of brands of DVD+/-R disks, some claiming 8x and 16x write-able speeds, but the drive doesn't seem to utilize those speeds. With that said, it's certainly faster than my Toshiba laptop's internal DVD writer. It's just not ultra fast. Top quality, though. No problems with it after burning literally hundreds of disks. I'd buy it again, but then mount it in a sound-proof box...
