 Sony DRX 800UL External DVD Writer
Review of Sony DRX 800UL by
matt_fantastic
Advantages: It's a Sony, so quality and style are excellent...
Disadvantages: It's a Sony, so it's a bit more expensive...
...most things, claiming (in the Sony documentation) to work with: DVD-R/-R DL/-RW, DVD+R/DVD+R DL/+RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, CD-DA, CD-ROM (XA), CD Extra, Video CD, Photo CD*, CD Text, multi-session (!)
I've used the DRX-700UL on some CDR's and some DVD+R's (4.7GB) and have had no problems, no burning or buffer errors (the drive has a 2MB buffer). It can record up to 8.5GB capacity on one Double/ Dual Layer disc, but I just happened to find some DVD+R's ...

 Oh to get it right first time!
Review of Sony DRU 510A by
colinmilne
Advantages: Great name for badge snobs
Disadvantages: Expensive with too many rough edges
...It seemed to me that Sony rushed this DVD unit to the market in order to be one of the very first with a multi-format drive. There were certainly rough edges right from the start. The main problems were with authoring DVD disks when the unit would start cutting and for reasons unknown would then find some error and eject the disk. Goodbye blank disk, hello another coaster. There was no real pattern to this and it would happen with a number of different ...
...one. That's not to say that every Sony drive is like this - far from it - the newer models appear to work well and their prices are quite competitive. They've even dropped the quirky looks of the 510A. But as for my one, its the thumbs down I'm afraid. ...

SONY DVD REWRITABLE

This can be used to watch all the new films. You not only can watch them but you can ...

Sony Dual layer writer (DRU-700A)
Review of Sony DRU 700A by
positivereflect
Advantages: Dual layer writing, Buffer underrun protection, changeable front to match PC,
Disadvantages: Not as fast at writing as other writers,
...i decided to get the Sony drive:
1. Because it supported -R/RW AND +R/RW
2.Because it supported dual layer (8.5gb on one disk!!)
Installation of the drive when i got home was simple - i just removed my CD Writer and replaced it with the new Sony DVD-+RW drive.
Once in, it was just as easy to use as my old CD writer. Open nero, select files, burn disk.
(should be open nero, select LOTS of files, burn disk).
Writing speeds:
CDR 40speed
CDRW ...

Good all-round DVD writer
Review of Sony DW-Q28A by
paul_s1
Advantages: Fast and reliable writing, Quiet operation
Disadvantages: No DVD-RAM Support
Good general writing speeds to most media including + and - R Dual Layer discs
The drive is fairly quiet whilst in operation and the build quality is higher than a lot of the drives in the same price range.
We have installed these in 5 PCs, all in use for over a month and haven't had any problems with reliability.
I have found it has good media compatibility with a variety of manufacturers, although as with most DVD writers, you will find some ...
