This DVD writer works great so far as I have used it. Ihave not used it to write a DVD yet You can load the disk that comes with it or just start using ti to play CD's and movies without having to download any software for it. It is light weight and compact.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it a couple of months ago. Never worked with the brand new computer I bought it for even after downloading the software for it. Returned it.
Bought this DVD/CD reader/writer for my new desktop computer that did not come with a DVD reader. It works great and is easy to connect/disconnect using USB ports. Works well with HP computer.
I am not a technically trained person and I was unable to load, open, start any usable function of this device. All I wanted was a simple R/W player for data and audio. Not achievable for me with this unit.
