SONY CDRW/DVD CRX830E

Hi
 
I know this is going to sound really dumb...I'm not sure that this storage drive will burn DVD's...I know that it is supposed to read them.  I have burned CD-R media with it already and it works great.  I don't own any DVDs right now but had intended to purchase a dual drive with the ability to both read and write DVD media with the idea that I could do backups on DVD.  Did I purchase the right item here?  I have a brand new Dell Dimension 4700c.  Thanks for any input you can provide!

Hi Michele,

As Jigs mentioned, this is not a DVD burner, it is what we call a Combo drive, a DVD-ROM & CD/RW.
Here is the User Guide so you can check the specs:

Best Regards




God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do
and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Thanks to Jigs and Predator...I was afraid that this drive won't burn DVDs...guess I'll hunt for an external DVD burner next!  Michele
