I echo jahern's report that other drives work well- I have owned two Hp drives- One internal and the one I am using now which is external hooked into my computer via usb. The only problems I have experienced was due to bad nmedia not the drive itself. I once had a batch of maxell discs read as bad discs only to have a full rack of TDK p100 pack go through with zero defects. ALl on the same drive so I believe it matters more to get good media han to be stuck with one brand of writers to choose from- MTU sells Plextor and buying from them I would believe would guarrantee that it will work for you. If you have to have a trust worthy unit for burning with an MTU product why take the chance with something that they haven't tested for you?
