It comes with Nero OEM software so it has everything you need to get started burning DVDs.

Stupid question - Is this compatable with most computers?

I have a Dell Inspirion 9300 with XP.

I've heard that with Dell, you have to buy everything dell... not sure how true that is?

[Marcster]

Dmmiller -- yes, that will work in your Dell. With the exception of using a Dell power supply in a Dell computer tower, I think someone at Dell was feeding you a line.

 

That Samsung has mixed reviews on Newegg.com. It might be worth another $5 to get a different brand that Newegg offers.

I just installed the Lightscribe version of that and have been pleased with it. They are quiet and fast and for the 20 DVDs that I had to do it worked flawlessly. It's only been in use for about a week, so it's too soon to tell if it's going to last, but for $30 including software, that's a good deal.

Hi all does anyone know if I can use this on my emachines T3256......thanks

[mrn8]

Yes, you can. You'll have to take their proprietary drive bay cover off, but it will fit and work in that computer.

Nice deal.

thanks for the info mrn8, does anyone know if this drive does dual layer.

It does dual-layer burning on dual-layer DVD+R discs (that's what the letters "DL" are for in Scott's original post).
