Page 1 of BTC 8 Speed DVD Writer

Time Computers (or whatever they are called) are doing a deal on the above. Is this an okay dvd writer?

Is it this one at £100?

Not seen any reviews but not the best company to buy from.

I have owned two of these damned things. There are no instructions in the box, no manufacturer`s website to go to for help or advice and The Computer Store staff don`t know what they are talking about. They don`t even speak English too well. The first drive I bought would not work at all and skipped like mad with CDs. The firm swapped it for another one which seemed to work at first. However, out of 13 discs (good quality branded ones) I have so far had two successful burns. The supplied software does not work with the drive and has to be updated, but this has made no difference. I have wasted hours trying to get this thing to work. I am getting rid of it (in the bin if necessary) and I thinking of buying a Sony DW-u14a to replace it. I would not recommend the BTC and I suspect some of the rave reviews I have seen on websites have been posted by people with a vested interest as they admit the thing doesn`t work well but insist it is good value anyway! Duh.
