Just went out and wasted $500 of my bloddy hard earned cash on this piss of shit dvd burner....... da speed is ok. Wasted a dvdr+ tryin' to back up a movie with nero........................ with out knowin' u can't do a 1.1 dvd copy (i wish i knew that before i wasted my money) I also tried other software like "My dvd" and clone cd....... but none of them could make a 1.1 copy..... well..... these are my feedback.... if u got this drive and wanna add some pros or cons, feel free.
