Summary: Burns DVD's but not CD's
Review: DVD burning works fine, but it's unable to burn CD's. I get constant 'buffer underrun' messages. I'm using the latest firmware and software - but still no luck.

Summary: The worst SONY product ever
Review: I bought this Sony DRX-500ULX in order to record my videos from a digital camera, also SONY, connected to a SONY VAIO, and in just a few words DON'T BUY THIS, it needs 20 GB of space in hard disk and if you burn a dvd probably you can't play it in your home dvd.

Summary: Best writer I've ever owned.
Review: Keep this in mind about externals, right off the bat: you generally cannot boot from them, so if your system needs bootable CD ability, you need to get the internal version of this item, or a low-cost read-only backup. Now, caveat aside, I've owned no faster or more reliable writer than this. The Firewire *and* USB 2.0 option lets me take this to any PC manufactured in the last three years and do my work. Emergency backup of a system? No problem. Burn DVDs? No problem, and the firmware is even flashable for future refinements. The software bundle is typical Sony: abundant, useful, right on. Still, Nero is the only software I'll use, and it has no problem handling this drive. The Sony-bundled DVD player software is pretty slick, nice options, skinnable. One thing I'd rather see is the eject button above the tray, but that's a minor point. It's a solid device, some bumpers on either side to help cushion it in a workspace, and a clean design. If you're going external, this is my only choice. Internal, to be honest, I'd probably go with its sister drive, the 500A. Sony's done it again.

Summary: Beware of Sony DVD burners!!!
Review: My Sony DVD drive is not even 2 years old and has now stopped working. For me to get it fixed, it will cost me $20 for them to troubleshoot it and $170 to fix it!!! That is more than it costs to buy a new burner. The warranty is only 1 year. Their customer service is also horrible if you ever have a problem. I just want to warn people before they go buying Sony computer products.

Summary: Compatible with Macintosh and PC computers - NOT!
Review: The description of the "Features" of this DVD burner states that it is "...Compatible with Macintosh and PC computers". After purchasing the drive from another vendor (who described it in a similar fashion), I found out from Sony technical. support that the drive is not compatible with Mac OS, only Windows. The Manuals were also for the incorrect model number (DRX-510), but Sony stated that there is no difference between the two drives, only the software.
I have not tested the drive as of yet, because it was purchased for my sister, who uses only the Macintosh Operating System. Although the drive looks like a quality piece of equipment, I can only give it three stars because of the misinformation within the description.
