I have never burned a DVD. I have loaded many audio books and it is pretty slow.

The one I purchased was a gift for a family member. This does burn and copy DVDs but requires an external usb thumb drive to give it enough memory to do so. Hope that helps.

I think for the price it's worth the risk of it not working to your expectations. It met mine just fine. I see no reason why it would not be compatible with your system as long as you have SATA connections, and burning speed would be affected by your system's ability. If you want lightscribe search for it, but be prepared to pay the price.

It was plug and play on my Toshiba Satellite S55-B5202. Ive had no issues burning or watching dvds.

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

I personally wouldn't recommend buying them. I het a write error on every burning software I've used. I will spend more to get TDK or Verbatim.

I have used it to burn DVD's but it does not support all formats of DVD's. I've had several DVD's that I wanted to watch on my computer but the format was not supported.

They work great for just data backups. They will not burn DVD movie backups for some reason I always get a "Burned Failed" error after my DVD burner burns the movie. So I wasted another expensive DVD DL.

Yes it can burn DVD's from a USB drive or copy the files to the local hard drive. For more information got to: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/burn-cd-or-dvd-media-player

So far it has done all for me. I am traveling quite a lot, the extra weight has been worth it having to burn presentations onto CD's using Roxio CD creator. I haven't tried movies onto a DVD as I am using it for business so I can't answer the DVD burn question.

Since I bought my laptop I hardly ever use it but I believe it is a readable/writable CD/DVD, so it can burn either. I have used it to make CD's but not DVD's.

It all depends on what you're going to do. I've used the Power2Go program to make data discs (DVD and Blu-ray), but I mostly use Nero 2014 Platinum for everything else. I guess it's an alright program if you're not going to do anything complicated.
