I am a photographer and plan to use these drives to put clients photos on and give to them instead of burning the photos to a cd. Good disc for this?

My event's photos need much more than 8gb. So unless you're just doing regular sessions and not events, you'd need larger.

I guess the question would be did you take less than 8GB worth of pictures. If this is the case then yes these drives would be good for that. I write on them with a sharpie but they do have a pretty good amount of room on the metal portion of the case that you could affix a label. They are not USB 3.0 so copy times might be slightly longer than some of the newer drives but I don't think that is really to much of an issue for most people.

Absolutely! Since they're giveaways, you won't mind the slow USB 2.0 transfer rate; but they're still more convenient than a CDROM and your clients will much appreciate these cause they can reuse them.

I use regular CD-Rs and they work. Have not tried to rip anything to a computer.

I use this to replace my broken dvd/cd drive on my old desktop computer. Burning videos and transferring photos to cd or dvd is performed by the software on your computer, not the drive. This new slim USB 2.0's function is merely to launch whatever disc you insert in it. After that, your computer does the rest.

I have not had any problem with these discs. Is you light scribe software and drive up to date?

YES - I use the drive for read/rewrite/write for Blu-ray & DVD. I have not had any need to utalize a CD so that is a ?

No, these were not LTH Disc. These BD-R Disc works for me. I do not have any issues burning my photo album on these blank disc. I don't know the media I.D.

Works but my computer used 3-4 cd's. I recommend getting a 64GB Flash drive. Longer lasting, less of a headache and it will save you more time. It's worth it. Amazon has good deals. PNY, Kingston or San Disk work well for me. Right now Amazon has them for a great deal that you can't get in local stores.

I use the 3 TB edition, and they are a good drive for secondary storage on your computer. Good value for your money. Of the 20+ that I have used now, only 1 has died on me, because I used it as a primary storage device for my video editing, and did not last as long. These drives work best when write a small amount of times, and then can read from them as much as possible to allow you access to all of your long term storage data.

This is the only model I sell that does Lightscribe and I sell quite a lot of them every month - I can't compare it to any other drive since this is the only Ligthscribe unit I sell - I do not sell Media but you can find various Lightscribe Media on Amazon - I have used brand name units as well as generic lightscribe disc - both seem to work fine

I've had no problems using it. Didn't need the disc that came with it. Windows and linux see it as a burner and work fine for cd's, dvd's, and BD.

I bought this drive specifically to burn CDs quickly. No software was needed. I use the drive on both a PC and a Mac, and both computers (and iTunes) recognize it without any preinstalled software.It's very fast, and it was well worth the purchase.

This model is easy to setup and use so it should be able to burn photos onto cds.

I agree with the 2 previous responses (No drivers needed). If you need backup software to make images for the whole drive(s), find a copy of Norton Ghost. I use version 9.

I use them to copy pictures from my computer. I use a Nero Program- it is simple and easy to use.Rich

These discs can be used to store digital photos from a SD card, or any other source (hard drive, USB flash drive, etc...). In order to use these discs you'll need a Blu-ray writer (Blu-ray burner).

Burning at 52x is fine with standard quality CDR-writers these days.The old days of needing a $200+ Plextor drive and burning at 1x are long-gone.
