WAS NOT NEW! Jul 06, 2010 PRODUCT WAS NOT NEW, PRODUCT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS USED
AND REPACKED ALL BACK TO ORIGINAL PACKAGING.(WHICH LET ME TELL YAH. WHO EVER REPACKED IT DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PUT THE INSERTS BACK ON UNIT CORRECTLY) I WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THAT UNIT NOT BEING NEW. BESIDES THAT EVERYTHING WAS IN BOX.I AM HOPING IT WILL WORK FOR A LONG TIME SEEING HOW I KNOW IT WAS NOT NEW IN A BOX.
Excellent drive Apr 29, 2010 In use for well over a year now. Works will all dvd formats including DVD-RAM.
Buy the LG Super multi instead Nov 07, 2009 This was great. Easy to install, easy to use, and just my luck only worked half the time. This would only burn half the lightscribe top layer. The disk would have to be inserted numerous times and sometimes the entire picture would burn. I thought I had purchased faulty disks--not the case! I purchased a faulty burner. HP has the worst customer service (it feels wrong puting the two phrases in the same sentence). Never again!
Nice burner! Oct 11, 2009 This DVD burner is great. Easy to install and easy to use. The only thing is that lightscribe is quite slow. However, this has nothing to do with this burner. It's due to the current lightscribe technology.

Pretty good burner Sep 01, 2009 I like this burner. It was very easy to set up and so far seems to work great although it tends to burn slowly with my computer. The Nero software that came with it was only a 30 day trial, so you will need to upgrade or purchase another software program to really utilize the CD/DVD burning feature. I enjoy the lightscribe feature. It's fun to be able to put photos on the disk to really describe what's on there. [...] has tons of great templates that can be downloaded for free. Overall, the burner is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone.
