Hi guys, i read here: http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20040707/dvd_recording-03.html that this drive can record ALL formats, including +R DL, is this a good drive? I have looked on e-bay and found it for real cheap, i was even thinking of getting one because its under $100, what do you guys think?
I took a close look at this drive like yourself but did not get lots of posotive feed back.In the end i went for the NEC 2510 which was cheaper.Many people told me i could not go wrong with a NEC so i thought i would give it a go and iam not dissapointed with what i got.This is my third dvd writer the first was a pioneer and the second was a Lite-on which i still use along side the NEC.The worst out of the 3 was the pioneer A04 which was actually much more exspensive due to the prices around at the time.Still it did not live up to my exspectations so it had to go.

ok, i was just thinking of updating my burner (its one of the first gen sony drives), i have heard a lot about the NEC 2510, maybe i'll get one if i come across a deal on one, thanks for the feedback guys.
