Rating: 5 stars
Summary: cool thing.. flawless and fast
Review: i got myself this baby not because of a test but due to the flashy red box it was offered in :)
installation and setup under win2k didn't produce any problems and since i have it i have killed only one out of 200 CD-r's (which it burns in less than 5 minutes!)
pretty impressive for an IDE-toaster for that price.
highly recommended!!!

Summary: Sony does it again....the drive is good, the package is not
Review: If you purchase this drive, be prepared to go buy other burner software to get it to work at it's potential. The included software is awful. At this point, the drive is not supported by Roxio's Easy CD Creator Platinum's latest version (5.1). It does work with Nero, which I'm still learning now.

When buying software, I expect there may be problems getting it to work with my hardware. But when the mfg of the hardware includes the software and it is less than adequate with only a limited trial period & built-in self destruct, that makes me want to avoid that particular mfg.

Sony makes great products, but their included overall package and technical support historically is poor. This one is consistent with their tactics.

Hot tip: do not buy stock in B's CD burner software.
