## Description

Sony Storage DRX830U External USB2.0 DVD+R

Review: Works well - I've only used my Sony DRX830U drive one time. I used it to record a DVD from my digital camera. The result was a good quality DVD of my grandsons. It took me awhile to figure out how to work the program. My computer knowledge is limited. I had to print off the entire manual and follow the step by step directions. At any rate, I am satisfied with the results thus far.

I bought this used, so the surface scratches and dents were to be expected. I am not sure if it is necessarily a defect, but sometimes I hit the eject button and the disk does not eject.
