Need a DVD Burner? Pick This One! No, Seriously!

Reviewing: Sony Dru 840 A
Purchased at: Wal Mart     Price: $74.99 USD

Simply put - the best DVD burner I have ever owned. I will keep this one until the day I die, or it spontaneously bursts into flames.

Super easy to install, I don't know much about the inner workings of a PC, and it took me only half an hour to get everythign set up! It burns DVDs super fast - a full single-layer DVD for me takes only about 4 minutes, 30 seconds...I have NEVER seen it take any longer than that. It's never had a failure as well - it has taken quite a few beatings and still works great!

Did I mention beatings? More like...nine layers of DVD burner heck. I have a year old daughter. She took to the special habit a couple months ago of pressing the button to open it, and hanging on the DVD tray when it slid out. Then, a week ago, I found her happily opening it, and sliding a pair of nail clippers into the burner itself. After those were fished out, I caught her a few hours later sticking a ball of cat fur into the burner.

And it still works perfectly. Not a single problem. Ever.

I highly recommend this burner, for it's ease of installation, speed, and sheer durability.

I have two Sony DVD burners, and they've been working great for me too. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Sound like what my little one use to like to do to things! If this burner can withstand that, then it's the burner for me. Thanks!

Now there's a testimonial as to the durability of a product! Gave me a good laugh too. Thanks for sharing.
