Question 1

does this DVD burner work with window 10?

Accepted Answer

I have burners that have been in machines that have evolved through multiple versions of Windows. I have never had a problem with burners or hard drives having a problem with any Windows version.

Question 2

What is the depth of the tray ?  When you open a tray, how far does it come out (exact measurement please) ?

Accepted Answer

I don't have any measurement, but It came out far enough so you can take out a tray manually by hand. However, it doesn't open far enough to a clear path for some automated system to grab the disc from the top.

Question 3

What is the best replacement drive since they quit making them?

Accepted Answer

A new optiarc 5290 is available. Also Teac 5600 series work well.  May not be suitable for robotic duplicates due to draw extension limit

Question 4

this drive works with windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit ???

Accepted Answer

yes it does. No drivers needed.

Question 5

Does this sata drive support windows 10 64 bit ??

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.

Question 6

Does a CD --RW  12x work on this burner?

Accepted Answer

It's burned every disc I needed it to. I've only cut dvds with it. It would be hard to imagine it not being able. I've been able to burn every format short of blu-ray for the last few years using dvd burner combo drives just like this one
