Summary: Worked first time, very impressed - Pioneer box
Review: **EDITED REVIEW**: I've had this drive for about 90 days and was really happy with it. Unfortunately, it no longer burns DVD-R. Power Calibration Error. Pioneer suggests I return the drive for servicing. Reliability may be suspect here.**END EDIT**

I installed this on my WinXP system and it burned a 30-minute DVD perfectly on the first try. Mine came as a Pioneer DVR-A03 - there was no indication of CenDyne anywhere except a sticker on the side. All of the docs and stuff are Pioneer. Bundled software isn't very intuitive - I use other packages for DVD authoring, etc. CD writing worked fine, too, but a little on the slow side. Pleased overall. Only came with a DVD-R disc. No DVD-RW, no IDE cable included, and the firmware is difficult to update under WinXP due to requirement of ASPI. Those three plus the CD-writing speed (lack of) drag it down to 4 stars.

Summary: A good DVD-R recorder
Review: I bought this DVD-R becouse I seeked good compatibility with dvd drives. this drive does the job well. data disks read well on dvd-rom drives. dvd-video disks can play on all most all new players.
the DVD-R shiped with all the software you need. it was easy to use.
The recodrer is made by pioneer.
the installion is easy it took me only 5 min
I think this recoder is beter then the HP dvd+rw 100i,
IF YOU NEED TO BACK UP LANGE AMOUNTS OF DATA AND RECORED DVD-VIDEO DISKS THEN GO FOR THIS DVD-RW DRIVE!! IT'S WORTH THE PRICE.

Summary: what is lange amounts of data?
Review: it's a good drive for large amounts of data. However, I have had terrible luck using this drive to back up lange amounts of data. If you're using the drive for that purpose, you might want to look into some other options.
