Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Optiarc AD-7240S-0B 24X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW SATA Drive, Bulk (Black)
Customer Review: Very fast
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only DVD burner I've bought, with the exception of the slow pig that came in the laptop.
System has 8 15K scsi drives, XPsp2, and this is the only SATA device.
Burns a ripped/shrunk single layer DVD in 5 - 6 minutes from an iso file. Never have done DL DVDs but will try 1 this afternoon. Uh... <cough!> basically I hadn't realized it did DL until I brought up the specs...
I've seen it spike to 17x - 19x later in the burning (toward the outer edge of the disk).
Occasionally it burns fast enough to suck out the buffer causing a fractional pause and lower 'calculated' speed.
Burns with many different Utils but I generally use ImgBurn these days; fast, no frills, no problems.
Ease of installation? C'mon, 4 screws, 2 cables, and Windows uses it's own drivers.
Ease of Use? Does what the programs and I tell it to, fast with no backtalk. That's ease to me.
Reliability? So far so good. ~14 months now. Some days it gets quite a workout.
Looking for another for an ex for Xmas (heh, sorry).
