Title: This drive is (was) great!
Review: I don't know what they're talking about, I own a year old Sony VAIO w/a P4 HT 3.06 GHZ processor and 1028 MB of RAM and this drive clocks 40x when I burn CD-R Data disks and can burn videos at the listed DVD+R speed, 8x. Most DVD+R disks are 8x or under in speed so there really is no use in having a 16x DVD burner, but I guess in the near future there will be media that can burn at 16x. By the way the other reviewers mentioned that they were using DVD-R media, that media is made to be used with Macs not PCs, you're supposed to use DVD+R on a Windows PC. So that could have been they're problem. I use this drive with Nero 7 Ultra Edition and it works great. Then again it's a Sony so it has to be great!Follow-up: Drive ended up failing after a year or two of non-use. Will not read any discs, ended up taking apart to attempt a fix but alas it ended up in the garbage. Can't recommend this drive, even if it isn't for sale anymore.
