Speed and Quality [Posted on 2005-09-23]
I have been using the Sony DRX720UL for one month now and so far it has lived up to the manufacturer's description.

I Love the Sony DVD Burner DRX-720UL [Posted on 2005-10-02]
I Have a Mac Mini and When I first seen the DRX-720UL Looked on the box it didn't say anything about mac compatibility the I seen the sony DRX-720UL/T model it did say mac compatible
but it was more then the DRX-720UL So bought the DRX-720UL and hooked it up with the firewire cable that came in the box and I was burning DVDs so fast it blew me away. It didn't come with mac burning software. but I had Toast 6 already. but you can use the built in burning software with Mac OSX (Tiger). I was up and running less then 5 minutes. Great product for a mac user. 5stars ( *****)

16X Writing Speed, 8X without errors. [Posted on 2005-11-16]
When I burn a DVD to back up my photos, I definately want to Verify the written data after the burn session. I can't seem to burn an error-free DVD+R with this burner unless I drop the write speed down to 8X. Even 12X causes errors. If I ignore the couple of errors and try to see what photos are on the DVD anyway, the programs stop responding and the DVD drive goes nuts.

Why make a 16X burner if the only way to get an error-free disc is to force the 8X speed?

What a Great DVD Burner! [Posted on 2006-07-26]
I purchased this for my aging Sony laptop and it works great. I use Windows XP Home so setup was a snap. I have had NO problems with this drive and it burns disks very fast. My only complaint was that it didn't have LightScribe. I am going to buy a Mac soon so from others I have talked with, this should work with Apple computers. THIS IS AN AWESOME PRODUCT!

Sony DRU-720UL [Posted on 2007-09-19]
This was a great burner until it stopped burning DVDs, after about 20 successful burns. It still burns CDs and reads DVDs, but every attempt to burn a DVD results in a "power calibration error." Same Memorex DVDs that used to work don't anymore. Searching the net revealed many other users of this product had the same problem. There is no fix. The product is now ready for the dust bin.
