| Have had no trouble with this drive until I tried to use Philips DVD+R 4.7Gig 1-8X discs. It doesn't seem to like them at all. Fujifilm DVD +rws worked great. Maxell & verbatim CDrs have worked fine. One note to add is to make sure you enable DMA access to the drive or it won't work very well. Mine didn't install with DMA on for whatever reason.

| This drive is an OEM Liteon SOHW-832S The good: This drive is a faster and more reliable DVD ripper than other HP NEC based drives. You could use LtnRPC utility to reset or disable the Region Counter (get it in here: http://dhc014.rpc1.org/LtnRPC/). It also supports DVD+R bit setting. The bad: After some trial and error we found that this drive is very picky when burning DVD-R media. I tested the same DVD-R media in my NEC-2500 and it worked properly. The ugly: According some reviews that I have read, the DVD-R problems also happens with the real Liteon SOHW-832S. No fix is available yet. If you want an HP drive and the capacity to burn cheap DVD-R media get a HP 420n or 520n drive. Comments posted by ofbarea from Costa Rica, December 18, 2004. Rated this writer No rating. |

| Just returned this piece of junk to the store. This is the second HP device I've purchased recently, both crap, both returned. Purchased for $99 to replace an the OEM single layer 4x drive on my machine. The physical installation of the drive was painless. Once installed I wanted to verify that the drive had the latest firmware, this is where it gets hairy. HP's support site states that you must install the software on the CD in order to verify/update firmware. I'm not thrilled about putting some crappy 3rd party trialware on my computer so I uncheck all the boxes, hoping to install only the HP utilities. No go, in order to install the HP software you must install at least one of the other packages. More that just a bit pissed at this point, I run the packaged utility and it can't even find the drive. Mind you, I've already burned a couple DVDs with my existing software. I spent two days playing games with HP's lousy tech support, and finally gave up. HP should stick to printers it's the only thing they do well, as for the rest of their products HP stands for Heaping Pile! Comments posted by Rik Gerblick from United States, October 26, 2004.

| I've had a problem burning Fujifilm DVD+RW. In two of three cases, all the (video) data doesn't get written correctly the first time, but it may be the software (Arcsoft Showbiz, included with the drive), because the DVD+R's burn just fine, first time, every time.

| Just got this for a $100 cdn on sale. It replaces my Pioneer 105 which died (second one that died, first was replaced during warranty period, very disappointing). Burned two dvd-r's last night on Ritek 04's, with good results. Can't believe the low price on this. Haven't tried it with dual layered discs.

| Ok I'm the guy that had bough tthe 16X BenQ 1610. I returned the "problematic" (read: sucky) BenQ and got this one instead. What improvement! Not one coaster so far, but of course the lower write speeds helps that. But still... I was burning maybe 3 out of 10 good discs on the BenQ and so far it's 10/10 with this one. Have tried + and -R but not DL yet. Software bundle could be better but.... for 99$ Canadian it's alright. Nice, reliable hardware, nothing fancy.
