Hello Everyone,

I am going to report to you about the Sony Spressa (USB). I was looking for a CD Rewritable drive about a year ago, and I stumbled across this drive at buy.com. I just decided to order it and give it a try. After waiting for...

Pros: Easy setup, virtually error free, transportable, affordable, great copies
Cons: Included software so-so

The Spressa USB CD-RW is for my money and anybody elses who is interested in a rewriteable drive that can create great music CD's and also archive programs and data without a hitch. I shoot lots of photos and needed to have a secure way to store them....

Pros: MAYBE it works, i hear it does
Cons: support will never have what you need

I am only 22 years old, but i have seen a lot of products in my short life. This is just to let you know what may be in store for you if you own a laptop!! Four weeks ago i got the sony USB spressa burner and I have never had the luck to make it...

Pros: cheap price
Cons: doesn't work

I originally intended to by an HP but they had been on back order for weeks, this Sony was available and I trusted Sony, so I bought it.

Big mistake.

I've owned this thing for two weeks now and have as another reviewer put it,...

Pros: Portability
Cons: Sluggish Speed for a 4X

I originally purchased this item to go with my Compaq laptop so i could burn cd's whenever I needed. I had no idea the versatility of this CD-RW. Now I can hook up to any of my friend's computers and copy stuff onto a CDRW and dump it into my computer....

Pros: USB
Cons: Software

Don't waste your time or money on this product. The software won't let you burn a compilation of .cda files and it freezes up the cd-rom drive after every burn. I ended up downloading neroburn for it but there is no reason one should have to pay an...

Pros: Good phone support. Never makes coasters. Looks cool. Portable.
Cons: doesnt play audio!

I bought this crappy CTX pc with no slot to put a cd-r in. Even the existing cdrom cant be removed. So i went to the store to look into USB. Only one they had was sony (compusa) so i had no choice.

I got home an plugged it in, and guess what?...

Pros: USB compatible
Cons: It doesn't work & TERRIBLE support!

So far, it won't work. I am using it on an iBook, and after downloading the appropriate updates that do not come with the product (if you don't download them, the computer crashes on restart), it still doesn't work. It sees the drive but tells me that...

Pros: pleasing to the eye
Cons: doesn't work

I was giddy with anticipation; imagine December 25, Christmas, and I have just unwrapped the greatest (or so I thought) gift of all, my Sony Spressa CD burner. From the moment I got the burner, it was nothing but trouble! It does not burn anything all...

Pros: Making CD's
Cons: what cons??

I love this cd-writer for the simple fact that I can make my own mix cd's and give them to friends. I also bought this because i can make backups of my video games etc. Any hard core gamer would love this because they could possibly save emulators and...

Pros: What a price!
Cons: Just doesn't work

I'd been shopping for a USB CD-RW for about a month. I was strolling through CompUSA and saw a display for this unit at $199.99. WOW! What a price! However, I could not get the driver loaded. Sony's tech line ( I checked to be sure it was an...

Pros: Easy to install if you can't install an internal drive
Cons: slow, software unstable, doesn't seem to support 80min CDs

I've had my USB burner for nearly 2 years, and haven't had a good experience with it. The only reason I got it was because it was external and didn't know how to install drives. The first few months were OK. Although I hated the software that came with...
