"Breaks for no reason" on
Summary: Bought this writer in march 2001. Worked fine for almost a year. And then I tried to write on 700 MB RW Imation disk (before that 650 MB HP & sony worked fine) and it's broke. Had I more month of warranty, so I replaced it with HP. Next one worked for about a month... When I finally pinned down a problem (drive can not write on certain 700 RW) I replaced 3 (!!!) CD-Writers. HP customer support did not acknowledge this problem, saying that it can't be. Last replacement working fine for 6 month, but I dare to try write any RW disks on it.

"Didn't even burn one CD" on
Summary: Never got a chance to burn a disc. Attempted to use Nero 5.5.9.9 with this drive and it did not work recognise it until a few more reboots. Tried the DLA software, and that didn't work. Very disappointed, as I used a 7200e before, and that did the job.

"Absolute Crap" on
Summary: Keeps telling me I'm using high speed cds, but I'm not. Called support, they tell me to check to ensure I'm not using high speed cds. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!! It would say high speed cd if it was high speed cd.
