Great DVD burner

After reading several DVD burners reviews, I purchased this one. When I received it, I was afraid to install because the box advised Pentium 4 - 1GHz and 512 MB RAM for all DVD recording and my system was a PIII-800 / 256 MB, however I have used it for more than a year without any inconvenience or damaged DVD or CD. Now I have 512 MB and performs even better.



The unit is extremely quiet, fast and reliable. It came with Nero Express 6 bundled that is easy to use and effective. Next week I will be upgrading my computer and this is one of the few components I will keep.

Great product

This item was easy to install, work great and very quiet, with excellent customer support.
