| So far so good with this burner (3 days). Using Memorex 16x DVD-R with Nero 6.3.0.0. Machine is P4 2.4ghz, 512MB DDR PC2100 running WinXP Pro w/SP2. 5 out of 5 had no errors and play on my Sony DVP-S560D stand alone.

| So far no problem with the drive. It is sold as a Sony but its really a Lite-On SHW-1635S. When running Sony diagnostic tool on it it reports Max Write Speed 5X.( I have to test it more ) To get new firmware for it go to http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=155777 Good luck higogo Comments posted by higogo from United States, November 29, 2005.

| Excellent burn quality. Smooth and fast. Purchased this to replace toasted Pioneer, and this is much better imo. Burns DVD's at the set speeds etc. The only downside which is why i didn't give it a 10 is because it's an OEM drives, its hard to find firmware updates as this drive is not listed on the sony website. however, i have not burnt not one coaster yet... really great.
