I have had big time problem with this DVD writer for the simple fact that half of the DVDs i burn on this writer gets wasted. half way thru, this writer either fails to burn the contents or gets stuck. 1 have wasted 6/10 DVDs like this. i donno if this problem exists only with my writer or if its a universal issue..

Great Deal

Got the 800a for $54.99; it finished almost an entire 4.7GB disc in about 7 1/2 minutes. The listed retail is $110 though, I feel bad for the guy who bought it for $130. Ay yi yi.

Compatability Issues

I have four DVD players in my house and the Sony 710UL had no problems playing disks on all of them, but then I buy the new 800 series and find that now 2 of them won't play the DVD burned by the 800. WTF

sony or liteon

This model of Sony is actually based on Liteon's SOHW-1693S. As Liteon is a vendor to Sony I won't be surprised if it is manufactured entirely by Liteon. Does this mean Sony or Liteon, it'll be same performance.
I gave it only 5 as I still have to find it's performance.

Fast drive, works well

I just picked up this drive about 5 days ago, and it's been working great. I've only burned dvd+r discs so far, but I haven't had any issues using Verbatim discs. Plus, the drive looks great and comes with 2 face plates (I prefer the white/clear one myself). I picked mine up at Staples for $130, which is worth it since the no-name brand dual layer was $100.
