I have only noticed inquiries about this drive such as yours, others may have more information. I believe it has only recently started shipping with Dell computers. I think we will see how this drive fares soon enough. Hopefully not another NEC ND 1100A saga.

I have a TEAC DVD writer (DV-W58E) and am currently experiencing probles trying to write to DVD+R discs, I have found no problems writing to DVD+RW. Dell have changed my writer once, but the same problems are occurring.

I am not sure if it is a disc brand compatibility problem, but I have tried Packard Bell and Imation discs with no joy. Waiting to hear if anyone has had any joy with other brands.

I have only tried it with the Roxio movie creator and MySonic that were provided with the Dimension 2400.
