Works great on a Mac too.......2005-05-26

I bought this drive today to give my Mirror Drive Door powermac dvd burning capability. I have a combo drive in the first bay set as the master and pretty easily followed the instructions to install the memorex drive. It worked first time, but I had to take a knife and trim very slightly the corners of the front of the tray (not hard with a sharp knife) so it could fit through the mac's case. OS X 10.4.1 recognizes the drive as a beefed up superdrive essentially and uses alt+eject as the keystroke to open and close it as well as adding a taskbar item. DVD+Rs (8x memorex) can write in about 6 minutes... I haven't tested any other formats.

Memorex doesn't list the drive as mac-compatible simply to avoid having to handle mac-specific tech problems, not because it doesn't work. any internal ide drive should work.

As for the bundled Nero software, that's the only coaster this drive has created thus far.

Beware of rated burn speeds.......2004-12-03

I bought the drive mainly because of the Nero software. Recently began using 8X DVD-R Memorex media but drive does not burn at 8X to DVD-R. Although box and booklet cover state it does, page seven in the instructions states only 4X on DVD-R media. It's very disingenuous of Memorex to call this drive a "True 8X."

Works for me.......2004-09-27

I needed to replace the DVD+RW that came with my HP 793. I have DVD-RW on other computers, so I am happy with a DVD+/-RW. I needed to change a jumper, but the directions were clear and the replaced drive confirmed the instructions, so that was no problem. The unit slid into the slot, XP Home recognized it and I was able to back up the computer on 2 DVD+RWs using BackUpMyPC. So far I have not used any of the software that came with the drive. No problems so far.

Avoid this unit........2004-09-02

I bought mine thinking "what a deal!" -- as usual, you get what you pay for. Mine installed flawlessly and looked sexy, but that is the only reason why I am giving it 1 star. I burned 8 "coasters" (both DVD-R and DVD+R) at various speeds (4x, 6x, 8x, 16x) but I was never able to record a single good disc. The bundled software (Nero) was either recording the discs without reporting problems (only to find out later that they had tons of errors on them), or it was simply stalling at some point, randomly (2%, 3%, 54%, 75%). I have a 5400rpm hard drive, 256Mb of RAM, and a 1Ghz processor. All my other applications were closed during the burning sessions. Excuse me, but that should be enough for a DVD burning process. If it's not, they haven't gotten it right yet... I took the drive back after 4 days of repeated, frustrating failures, and I spent the extra twenty bucks to get me a (roughly equivalent) Sony double-layer DVD burner, which apparently works a lot better (burned one DVD so far, tested it thoroughly afterwards -- no errors. Bravos Sony; Memorex please go back to the drawing board). Hope this helps.

Great Value.......2004-06-11

For the price, you can't beat it. I really could care less about the speed. I just want dependability, and this inboard unit delivers. Easy to install, just take the face off your pc, slide it in, plug in the IDE and power, two screws, and that's it. (...)
