Poor Compatibility! The Worst Warranty I ever Met!!
Poor Compatibility! Not a single disc burnt! The Worst Warranty I ever Met!! As simple as that. <
>I bought it from Staples two months ago, and I hsve been struggling with it ever since. I contacted I/O Magic technical support and customer service several times, of course, I have been asked to update all drivers from Desktop chipset to ATPI driver, DVDRW drive's firmware. This product at last simply even stopped reading days ago. Then I met with the worst warranty I ever have before. The WARRANTY simply asks you to pay for the return and replacement delivery no matter it is a defective one or not!!!!!!! <
>Watch out and follow experts' advice on some reliable brands, unless you want to struggle with this product with poor quality and pay for the freight youself! <
>This is definitely my last experience with I/OMagic.

Good Product
I've owned and heavily used this product for the past 6 months and I've been very happy with it. I've burned 8X DVD+Rs at 16X successfully and they've played on my fussiest stand alone DVD player. I've found that the key to successful burns is to use good quality blank media. What few problem burns I've had were the result of something other than the burner itself and were easily solved by changing a setting here or using a different software there. I also own another branded burner and quality-wise this one measures up very well against it.

Writing with errors after 3 months
It was great for the first 3 months. I use Nero Ultra 6 (not OEM from this product) and is up to date. After 3 months of use, it wrote with errors and cannot use those discs. Nero can varify whatever writing with it. Now, it's just a DVD-ROM, not DVD-RW double layer!
