The Sony DRU-810A is a solid DVD writer.
Highs: Fast DVD R DL write times; excellent software package; reliable
Lows: Average write times for non DVD R DL media formats; missing the IDE cable
Where to buy:
The Sony DRU-810A is the company's follow-up to their first Dual Layer DVD writer, the DRU-800A. As you can imagine, not a whole lot has changed between the two models. You get updated software, faster read/write times and hopefully better media compatibility. The DRU-810A can be found from various manufacturers for around $100 dollars. The Sony DRU-810A comes with a software package provided by Nero and two faceplates, one in gray and another in black.
