No question about RiTeks being excellent quality. They are rated for 8x, but burn consitantly at 12x in my Pioneer drive on my PC! It is absolutely THE DRIVE and not the media. I u…

Staples had a 40 pack of 8x DVD+/-Rs on sale this week for $5 after rebate. Maybe try something like that and see if you can get faster speeds. (Toast will not even let me try an…

Looks like the Ritek…

I agree with those that think this drive isn't very good. I have the UJ-825 in my PowerBook and it works fine but just doesn't seem to be a great drive (DVDs take 30 seconds to mo…
