Where can I start, everyone should have something like this. I mainly use this for backing up information when I’m out & about doing odd jobs for people or research into my next project.
The speed, style & reliability of this was a main issue for me, it hit all the right buttons & works like a dream. It does everything a normal internal DVD-RW should do, except you can plug it into any pc/laptop with a USB 2.0 port and your away.
The downsides I found about this product was..
You need to upgrade the firmware to allow it to recognise some cheaper versions of DVD’s. Such as a version of DataWrite DVD-R’s that was manufactured as 8x DVD’s, but a technical issue prevented the Initial creation from being 8x but only 4x. Now, most DVD-R are mostly 8x now, but some 4x about still, and some of the higher tech DVD Writers will have issues with this. A firmware update makes the DVD Writer see the disk correctly & its correct capacity.
Second issue.
I had a hard time getting this baby to burn on 1.1 USB port as a older laptop of mine has. It did burn, but the buffer protection was cutting it kind of thin & some data wasn’t copied right.
So, People with 1.1 USB ports should try looking for compatibility with 1.1 & 2.0.
But, for those with 2.0, I recommend indeed & remember, the price is very very sexy for the performance & reliability of this writer.
