Extermal DRX I have had this DRX 840 for about 3 years; I LOVE this thing. I am currently looking to buy another; the cat has been chewing on my USB cable. Awesome piece of equipment! November 11, 2009
THE BEST ON THE MARKET I had this burner for a year when I finally wore it out and it wouldn't eject the disc. When I went to replace it I found it was no longer available. I purchesed another brand only to find out it's total garbage. I would give anything to be able to find this one again, I'd get 2 so I could have a backup!! June 5, 2009
