User Reviews: Sony DRX500ULX External DVD+RW Drive
Great product. Easy set up with Win XP
I am running this drive on a Dell laptop (866mhz). Its a little sluggish, but works really well. I use DVD X Copy to back up my DVD collection. Also works quite well with Pinnacle software for digital camcorder editing right to DVD. The price was steep $400+, but worth it! Hope this helps
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoUSB 2.0 and Firewire Did Not Work w/ Win 2000
I purchased this drive direct from Sony - twice. The first one arrived with a dead power supply. Called Sony - took 30 minutes to convince them it was DOA (I mean totally.) Shipped it back - prepaid! (good), Sony would not replace, had to credit me and re-order. Second drive would not work with Firewire (iLink) under Windows 2000, no matter what computer (all new models) I tried it with, including Gigabyte GA7-VAXP MB(on-board 1394 firewire), Adaptec Fireconnect 4300 board, Dell M50 laptop, Compaq Evo. USB 2.0 also did not work - only USB 1.1. Windows 2000 was totally up to date, with all Service Packs. Same for motherboard drivers and BIOS. Sony tech support: Call your comuter manufacturer. (this was Level 3 tech support!) Shipped it back. No more Sony, ever! Sign me disgusted.

This drive is the best. I debated and looked for every review for dvdr before chosing this one. I am glad i did. I have thrown every possible recording options at this drive and have yet to make those awful coasters. Mainly used to backup vast DVD collection. I use a sony laptop (XP OS) with firewire connection and it works just as fast as an internal. Just flash the firmware and upgrade it too 4x write and thats it. READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING THIS!!!! GET IT YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. Software included needs help but i never opened the installation disc. I used the new updated NERO to burn and Power DVDXP to view great combo a must have for this drive to work at its best potential.
