 Great DVD Burner! September 7, 2008

I love this external DVD Burner it is a snap to set up and so easy to use. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking to buy a new external DVD burner. It has cut my burning time down from 2 hours on an old computer to approximately 30 minutes. Not to say, the USB makes setting up a cinch.

I bought this about a week ago and have burned 8 discs. I have had no problems with it, all discs burned perfect. The noise actually did not bother me. I was more concerned if it works or not and it did work great. This has been my first attempt to burn a DL disc and all went well. I did not use the enclosed Nero to burn the disc. I used Adobe Encore in which I had assembled my sons recent wedding. The best part is I was able to squeeze all the video's and slide shows in one disc.

Works well, maybe a bit large for some users September 6, 2008

I bought this to pair up with my wife's new MacBook Air and it's proven to be dependable and quiet. She only plans to use it at home so size and mobility don't really matter. But some people may object to the Sony's large size and rather shiny exterior. Sony does offer the much smaller black DRXS70U/R Slim Line burner but it's about $40 more. The DRX840U is about the size of a hardbound edition of "War and Peace" while the DRXS70UE is a little larger than "Paris Hilton, My trip to Africa".
Esthetics aside, if you need a dependable DVD burner the DRX840U will probably fit the bill.

True plug'n'play product. I didnt care about nero/bundled software since I wanted to use some other custom burning software. Only burned 10 or so verbatims (16x dvd-r) and no coasters so far. I did notice that some software recognize the max burn speed of this device at 18x, but again, its not a big deal.
A minor gripe: I would have preferred not having to use an extra socket to power this device and just powered off of the usb.
Overall an excellent product. I had looked extensively at the hp dvd 1040e and the lite-on ones but found the reviews to be somewhat inconsistent.
The only other missing aspect is lightscribe burning capability, but I prefer a consistent dvd burning experience instead of potentially flaky but flashy burners.
