| I had a bad experience with mine. Bought it in Carrefour for €189 at 24/09. Updated it with the latest firmware from BTC site. A week later, in the middle of a DVD burning using Easy CD&DVD Creator6 gave an error and DVD was lost. After this it never recognized DVD or CD-RW media. It still recognized CD-ROM or CD-R I went to the store and they gave the money back. (I'm from Portugal) Comments posted by Luis from Other, October 09, 2003. Rated this writer 3 of 10. |

| I just bought one, on v.38 firmware, and it works fine. DVD+r or DVD RW works perfectly, I can read them fine one other DVD drives. Good choice in my opinion, at 169 Euros, don't miss it ! Comments posted by fantasio from Other, October 07, 2003. Rated this writer 8 of 10. |

| Had a problem with the first drw1004 I bought, fast erasing a dvd+rw. It didn't read any dvd's anymore after that. It also had old firmware (v.37). Understanding it's a new product,I had it changed with a new drw1004 with already updated firmware (v.38). Now works perfectly. Burned also on cheap discs: no errors and readable on ANY dvd player. Really happy for the choice. Good price too. Comments posted by Dario H from Other, October 03, 2003. Rated this writer 9 of 10. |

| This is my first time playing with DVD writers, and went for a +- solution. So far everything thrown at it has worked fast and reliably. So thumbs-up from me... Comments posted by Steve from Other, September 20, 2003. Rated this writer 9 of 10. |
