Summary: Very Good DVD burner
Review: This is an ideal addition for those who own a laptop with firewire or USB 2.0 port. For firewire connection one needs a 4 pins to 6 pins firewire cable, because 6 to 6 pins is included in the box.The setup was easy &took me about 2 minutes. The software installation was easy too. Veritas's RecordNow, SimpleBackup, DLA &ArcSoft's ShowBiz DVD authoring softwares are included. I cannot install the DLA because I already has Roxio's Easy CD Creastor 5.3 installed. From reading others' reviews about HP DVD200 (predecessor of this DVD300), there seemed to be many problem about with DLA. I guess HP fixed that. The installation would not allow to install another one of DLA when it detected there was one already installed. But that is no problem with me as I use Roxio's DLA. DLA allows one to use the drive like a harddrive. One can click/drag from Explorer or save from applications the files to the drive. (too bad Microsoft does not include this as part of the OS, so that there would not be so many this DLA conflicts out there) Veritas RecordNow is probably the best software included, I am so impressed with it now I use it exclusive, drop my old favorite Roxio Easy CD Creator. So far I am very happy with this burner, no coaster burning with Memorex +R or +RW discs. I hear Ritek, HP (of course) &Verbatim discs work fine with this burner too. I did not bother try other discs as I can get Memorex disc for [$$$] respectively. Get this burner!
