Expensive at that time but briliant

This unit *never* had any problems, not a single disc wasted and burned about 200 pieces. Updated the BIOS to write 8x and no problem...it works brilliantly.
Not Bad At All

I Have Never Had A Problem With This Dvd Burner Ever
Piece of crap

The Sony DRU-530A is a piece of crap. I purchased it back in 2003 and have nothing but trouble with it. The _first_ one I bought failed to do anything at all out of the box, so I took it back to the store for a replacement. The second one (out of the box) wasted a half dozen discs (trying to burn them) - all failed. I took it back and got another replacement. This one worked _marginally_ till now - still failing burns for no reason every once in a while (I've probably only burned 20 or so discs in total). Now it fails to even play DVD moview from Blockbuster (no they aren't scratched). At first it would just think there was no disc in the drive about 1/2 the time... now it makes bad noises when spinning up the DVD... and ejects the tray with the disc still spinning at Mach 3!
I paid a premium (over cheaper brands) when I bought the drive because I used to think Sony products were quality. I know better now... I'll NEVER buy another Sony drive again! What a complete piece of JUNK! Avoid these suckers like the plague!

I purchased my DVD Burner in Nov 2003, when it first came out. I have had no problems burning anything. It has worked fantastic for me in burning all types of media, music and copy protected movies. I would think that it's the type of software used to burn your media/movies. I used the now taken off the market, DVD XCopy. Never any problems. I've been burning movies for the past 2-3 years with my burner and still working great. Plus, I paid the original price of $249.99 because it was just put on the market. I even used Nero and the software provided with it, no problems at all. Thumbs up. I am a total Sony Fany.
