Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-12-13 Summary: Well worth the price...Has everything you need. ... This DVD recorder is perfect simply because you can use any format. You don't need to worry about which "R" mode to use for recording and its a Sony, so you won't get stuck with a cheap "brand-X" DVD burner. I bought the DRU-510A model at a local computer convention recently and immediately began using it with the bundled software. You can't go wrong buying this one. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-12-31 Summary: Awesome performance ... I buy Princo DVD-R media with the white top on ebay and they work flawlessly in this burner. I love it and have no complaints. By now they probably have faster burners, but for the money you can get this for now, it's worth it. Burn overnight. In the morning, you're done. I wanted an all-format in case I need to play DVD+R, but most stand alone DVD players will play DVD-R. I stick with DVD-R media and this drive has been wonderful. ...more
