1016IM with latest firmware, under linux 2.6 ide-cd module and using growisofs, have burned over 500 dvd+r with 100% success rate at 4x-8x, regardless of media type. I suspect most problems with the drive (barring hardware failure) are due to windows drivers not implementing a full MMC-3 instruction set.

At my recommendation, 3 others have went with the above setup in the linux 2.6.x networked storage servers, all with 100% success rate.

Can't speak for windows, but under Linux you simply can't beat the price/performance ratio.

Bought the drive at Staples for $19.94 after rebate. It is a BTC Model 1016IM drive. Downloaded latest firmware from Emprex (A091). I have heard BTC has discontinued firmware updates for this drive. Also, bought two cheap 50 packs of 8X Playo discs at the same time for $4.94 each. The DVD-Rs write fine at 8X but speed must be lowered to 4X on DVD+Rs to get a burn without errors. Used Nero 7.0 for burning. Considering the price, I would have to say this is a good drive for the money.

I BOUGHT ONE AFTER CHRISTMAS...WORKED GREAT FOR A MONTH, NOW IT WON'T WRITE WITH XCOPY9, DVD2ONE, DVD DECRIPTER, MAGIC COPY, OR ANY OTHER PROGRAM. i'D RECOMMEND STAYING AWAY FROM THIS MODEL.
