1 out of 5 stars get a plextor.......2004-12-20

Plextors px-712a and Nec's 3500a are much much faster, support more formats(no the tdk is not universal),and cost less. My plexy has never produced a single coaster and can write a 700mb cdr in just under 2 min. Either one can be had for under $100. Check around there are way better drives produced by "generic" companies than anything tdk or hp has ever released.

1 out of 5 stars get a plextor.......2004-12-20

Only 4x? One of the slowest I've used even at 4x speed. Pextor's PX-712a or Nec's latest 3500a write much faster and consistent(12x for the plexy, 16 x for nec). They both support more formats(Nec=all known formats, Plextor=all except dual layer write).Plus cdr/cdrw is much much faster at 48x, about 2 min tops for any cdr. I don't know how they justify the price of this drive as you can get more than double the performance for less. Nec's can be had for under $100, do a search.

5 out of 5 stars Superb!! Typical TDK Product.......2004-11-27

After having used a cheap DVD Writer (I/O Magic), and returning it in 5 days, I got this today for ONLY $79.99 at Circuit City on account of Thanksgiving Sale. It was almost too good to believe since it retails at almost $170 on average.
I can clearly see the difference between JUNK like I/O Magic and
TDK. It has worked like a CHARM!!
For those who are complaining need to get a reality Check.
I have not even touched the included Software, for none other than DVD-X-COPY can copy the DVDs. Rest software on market can only copy Home Made movies and fail to copy CSS protected DVDs.

I have used Memorex DVD-R and 4 in a row.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! You may not get a deal like I got :)

5 out of 5 stars TDK Supports Their Products.......2004-04-28

I bought the TDK DVD drive and it was not able to recognize DVD+RW media after writing to the media one time. (DVD+R media worked fine.) This problem had existed since I purchased the drive. I "chatted" with tech support and they agreed that it was a hardware problem with the drive. When I called tech support for an RMA number, they informed me that I was past the warranty period (by a couple of months). I requested they cover the repair anyway as a gesture of goodwill, since the drive had never worked properly. THEY AGREED TO REPAIR THE DRIVE! Now that is what I call great support. Had the drive failed after the warranty period expired, it would not be right for anyone to expect TDK to repair the product. As it is, I feel that TDK has shown incredible integrity and gone above and beyond the call of duty. Hat's off to TDK!

The drive is a solid drive and installs easily. I suggest using Nero software with this drive, instead of the bundled software.

3 out of 5 stars Good at what it does - so far.......2004-04-17

I received this item as a gift, so I can't really complain. At the moment I am still running Windows 98SE on an HP Pavilion that meets the minimum system requirements for this drive - at least according to what's printed on the side of the box. On the + side, this drive is *so* fast at burning CD's I'm still getting used to it! On the minus... well, there must be some incompatibility either with Win98SE or with my Pavilion (Athlon III?) because no matter what I try the 'DVD Builder' program simply will not respond. Not much help on the TDK site either. So, if I'd paid money for this and was stuck with my computer I would be angry. But as I said it was a gift and I am buying a brand new Dell (never again HP!!) with a builtin DVD+RW drive so I don't care.

            1 out of 5 stars Macintosh users beware!.......2007-03-09

            If you are a Mac user and thinking of using the Buffalo Linkstation as a NETWORK STORAGE DEVICE for a MEDIA SERVER you can do much better! I ordered this with the hope of using it to store and serve iTunes and iPhoto. 1. The instructions for getting it set up we're either out of date or Buffalo hadn't hooked up a Mac to see how it currently works. Instructions for the Mac were pretty much 'you're on you own'. After some troubleshooting I got it working. 2. The download times were unbeliveably slow! It didn't support Appletalk or Extended Appletalk. I had to revert to using SMB protocol... 54 hours to download 8 gigs! I think not. I called their support team and they essentially shrugged their shoulders... Mac's were not their thing. I ended up sending it back and getting a LaCie ...same size storage for $20 less. Set up was a breeze. Appletalk was supported, also Unix, Linux & Windows. 8 gigs downloaded in 45 minutes! That's more like it! Hope this helps your decision.

            3 out of 5 stars No incremental backups!.......2006-09-15

            At first, I was very pleased with this purchase. The speed was pretty good for a network device (of course, it's much slower than connecting a USB2 drive directly to a PC). So I transferred all of my music, photos, and videos onto the Linkstation to act as a central media server for my home computers. Then I bought a Buffalo Drivestation and connected it to the USB port (to act as a backup for the network drive). I performed a full backup of 80GB worth of files. It took several hours but went fine.

            The following week, I performed another backup. To my surprise, it started to back up every file again. After digging around, I found out it does not perform an incremental backup. The only way to perform incremental backups is to use third party software and run it form a PC or Mac. The problem with this is that all the files need to travel over the network to the PC and then back to the Linkstation. This would take DAYS to backup 80GB (I even have a gigabit network and Gigabit Linkstation). Yes, the first backup would be slow and later backups would be faster. But it would still take forever to backup a large video file (such as as my latest home video of my baby). And I'd need to leave the PC on to do so.

            Well, I feel like Buffalo swindled me out of two drives. If you intend to use the Linkstation to backup files from your PCs, I'm sure it would work fine. But if you want to use it as a primary storage device, forget it since there's no easy way to back it up.
