The AOpen DRW4410 performed on average in both performance and features, dropping a few positions given its rather expensive price tag for a single format writer. The included software package caters to all your disc writing requirements, with Nero 5's popularity and user-friendliness making this +R/RW burner hard to go past for both novice users and advanced burning professionals. Inclusion of a disc for each type of supported media means you can start burning straight away, while the 'plus' system allows the drive to be used under Mt Rainier for drag and drop editing on the disc for seamless updates and changes.
Overall a decent 'plus' format burner, with no significant flaws, but just outgunned in the price department by the Ricoh and BenQ drives.
