CNET Review
The Good: Fast, 4X DVD+RW/+R/-R writing; excellent overall performance; comprehensive software bundle.
The Bad: No headphone jack or volume control; no audio-to-sound-card cable; mediocre documentation.
The Bottom Line: Despite some petty penny-pinching on Sony's part, the DRU-510A establishes a new industry standard for burning performance and versatility.

Review Summary: The minimalist profile does look nice but if the BenQ model can offer these function buttons at less than half the price then surely Sony could have stretched to including them.
