| I got this Ikebana brand DVD+RW drive (Ricoh OEM 5120A) with great deal ($119 AR) from Outpost. I can burn DVD+RW in 2.4X no problem. I used the cheapist DVD+RW discs I could find: $2.30 ea, DVD-ON, from http://www.dvd-rwmedia.com/. Burning CDs is also fine. Comments posted by tke918 from Other, December 26, 2002.

| Got this burner recently. Got external firewire version. software included seems pretty poor with the exception of player software. PowerDVD I think. Have backed up quite a few DVD's and not had a coaster yet. Seems like a good unit. Seems like the speed is pretty good, but I don't have a frame of reference. Takes about 20-25 mins a disk. One major beef: You can't use a network adapter while the DVD is connected with firewire. Got some major blue screens in WinXP trying to do it. What I have to do is disable the nic while I'm burning or reading from the drive. Major PIA! Then afterward disable the drive and re-enable the nic. Suppose If I got internal, this wouldn't have been a problem. But I like the portablility of the drive. Nothing I've burnt will play on my old Apex 600a. Everything plays on my Philips 724. Have used unbranded media that came with the drive, Memorex +R and +RW and Ritek +R. Comments posted by Gerry Mueller from Other, October 03, 2002. Rated this writer 6 of 10. |

| I'm having problems with the Rima DVD+R discs. The drive just keeps blinking and nothing happens. I bought it based on earlier comments on this forum. Should I only use HP DVD+R/+RW's? Which is the best place to buy it? Have you guys tried Verbatim DVD+R & DVD+RW? Comments posted by Raj from Other, September 22, 2002. Rated this writer No rating. |

| Bought the external usb 2.0 version from PC zones. Seems to work fine. But I could not find any documentation on burning video DVD's with the included software. Have not been able to get other video DVD softare to recognize the drive (dvd complete, DVDit) Comments posted by brett from Other, September 16, 2002. Rated this writer 8 of 10. |

| Just bought the Ikebana drive at Frys Electronics for $249 w/rebate. Works great with Windows XP. I just need to figure out the ripping techniques. Too much material with little clarity! Comments posted by Raj from Other, September 10, 2002. Rated this writer No rating. |

| I have the external Firewire version using XP. I was scared because the price was so cheap however it's working great. I've used hp media but recently switched to ritek from www.rima.com for $2.45 ea. Comments posted by Rich G. from Other, August 30, 2002. Rated this writer No rating. |

| I've had the internal IDE version of this drive (like almost all +r/+rw drives, it's a Ricoh 5125) for a couple of weeks and am very happy with it. I've only used HP media in it so far and compatibility with my Apex AD-2100 has been great. Comments posted by mdm from Other, August 08, 2002. Rated this writer 9 of 10. |
