    16x write speed, 8x error-free.

    When I burn a DVD to save my photos, I really want to check the recorded data after burning. I can't seem to burn a error-free DVD+R with this burner unless I lower the burn speed to 8X. 12X also causes errors. If I ignore a few errors and still try to see what photos are on the DVD, the programs stop responding and the DVD drive crashes. 8x speed?

    Pros
    • Super Fast Dual Layer/Dual Format DVD Burner 16X Max
    Cons
    • Something else

    I like Sony DVD Burner DRX-720UL

    I have a Mac Mini and when I first saw the DRX-720UL I looked at the packaging but said nothing anything about Mac compatibility: I've seen a Sony DRX-720UL/T model that claims to be Mac compatible, but it was larger than the DRX-720UL. burned a DVD at such a speed it stunned me. No Mac recording software was included. but I already had Toast 6. but you can use Mac OSX (Tiger) built-in burning software. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Great product for Mac users. 5 Stars ( *****)

    Pros
    • Compatible with Windows 2000 or Windows XP Home or Professional operating systems
    Cons
    • Ugly packaging

    Old, reliable, good for archiving, still works

    My home network. I had no problems with that. It was mainly used to burn data backups to DVD. While the speed over USB isn't great, this just gave me the right solution: 1. Keep a large amount of data2. Economical in cost (many computers)3. Non-proprietary cross-platform universal media4. Fast setup/installation. The cost was less than installing internal optical drives in any DVD-burning computer. Over the years, better and better options for archiving data and systems have emerged. I no…

    Pros
    • Works with 4.7GB DVD+R/+RW discs and 8.5GB dual layer discs
    Cons
    • Crumpled
