Nice burns and read speeds, May 7, 2007

Read speeds are excellent. DVDs and CDs are read at fast speeds, not locked at slow speeds like some burners I have tried. I only tried burning at 8x as I don't trust 16x in general. The resulting burns on TDK printable media is excellent; no incompatiblity problems in any machines I play them in.

My only complaint is the enclosure seems a bit flimsy, but that's negligible.

Poor Service, all around, February 8, 2008

I ordered an item that did not work and returning it was an absolute nightmare. I was met with rude emails and I barely got back the money I paid, also having to pay up to $30 to send it back to them the way they wanted it. What a waste of time and money. I'm surprised Amazon works with them at all.

Unfortunately product didn't work. Something happened in transit. However, I did get a prompt refund. I would purchase from this individual again if I needed something he had.
