5 out of 5 stars Finally a drive that recognizes all blank DVD media.......2007-01-05

Neither the built-in NEC DVD+R, an added internal IOMagic DVD+-R, nor an external Sony DVD+-R will even allow me to try to record many of the blank DVD media. They simply don't recognize them as recordable discs. And when they do, the success rate has been very low.

So I took a chance paying more (~$200) for the Plextor and both problems have been eliminated. I have had only one burn failure and at least 50 successful ones so far. Thus, I give this unit top marks. As far as the bundled software goes, I never even tried to install it after reading the previous review and similar reviews on other sites.

The drive is very quiet and solidly built. I'm happy I can now use my collection of various manufacturer's blank discs.

1 out of 5 stars Dont waist you money.......2005-06-17

I like the drive. I upgraded from a 708UF. However the Roxio Software that ships with the drive is very unstable. As a matter of fact it installs a packet writer driver that will tear up your system. You can not uninstall this software unless you uninstall all the included software.

The only way I can keep my computer from constantly rebooting is to turn off the 716UF.

Plextor has been no help. The only comment they had was to take the drive back for a refund.

Im currently using the software that came with my 708 drive and if I had the chance I would return the 716uf drive but my daugter managed to grab my 708 drive so Im stuck.
