Sony Dual layer writer (DRU-700A)
A review by positivereflect on Sony DRU 700A
January 3rd, 2005


Author's product rating:

Ease of Installation Good - quick to install 
Value For Money Good 

Advantages: Dual layer writing, Buffer underrun protection, changeable front to match PC,
Disadvantages: Not as fast at writing as other writers,

Recommend to potential buyers: yes 

Full review
With the backup of my pc to CD`s taking longer and longer with each new revision of windows, i decided it was time i got something a bit more practical.

I decided to get .... A DVD writer.

Looking around at what was available, i had a selection of drives to choose from:

DVD+R/RW Drives, DVD-R/RW Drives, and DVD_+R/RW Drives.

Not really Knowing what the types were (- or +) 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 24speed
DVD-R 8speed
DVD-RW 4speed
DVD+R 8speed
DVD+RW 8speed
DVD+R DL 2.4speed
