Update 1/13/06:
When I wrote this review originally, I was very happy with this drive. However, a few months later, I'm much less enthusiastic. After only using a few times to burn DVDs, I recently went to do a long overdue backup - and found that the drive would not recognize ANY recordable... Read full review »

Pros Good value. Product works for me.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I got this on Christmas Eve in 2004. While my Dad overpaid at the time, I was elated because I had gotten very sick of backing up my data to 700 MB CD's. I immediately went home and burned 10 discs that very night. I had no problems.

That has been the story of this burner. I ran into a... Read full review »

Sony DWQ58A DVD Burner for Laptop

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good price, burns flawlessly, quiet, good fit, came with nice NTI DVDMaker software.
Cons Have to upgrade software to continue using full backup feature.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently installed this dvd burner in my Dell 700M and couldn't be more pleased. It took a little bit of work to get the plug relocator and bezel off the old drive onto the new without breaking it, but after that the drive plugs right in and the computer recognized it without a problem.
