I bought this BenQ product and have used it for only few months. It was working good and all of a sudden it started not recognising the discs. I found this is a very unreliable product and there is not too much of help also is offered.
It is always a pain to go behind the warranty or return these. I gave up on small companies like this and bought an NEC one. It is not worth the save of money.

Review for DW1640 -- the next one after the 1620
rating: 1
Drive died after 2 months of use. I called Benq and waited on hold for 30 mins, got hold of a rep, who cheerfully tells me these drives "die all the time". They refused to ship me a replacement until I send out the old one.
I shipped it out and 3 weeks now, no word from Benq. So I call them again (waited again for 30 mins, no kidding) and it turns out their warehouse was closed for 3 weeks during Christmas. So they haven't even opened the package! This is the first I've heard of a business that stayed closed for this long ignoring their customers.
I asked for a refund and they don't do that so I'm stuck waiting for a drive that may die again 2 months down the road.
I've have a NEC drive that has worked just fine for over a year of daily burning. I'm going to eBay the Benq drive whenever I get it back and get a NEC or Plextor instead.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM BENQ!

Garbage
rating: 1
This burner is junk. It burns single-layer (4.7 GB) disks fine but every dual-layer disk (8.5 GB) fails, creating a lot of expensive coasters.

So far so good.
rating: 5
I have been using this drive for 1 week. I burned about 15 DVDs with one failure, and that may have been because of the disk.
The drive has very nice technology that lets you burn DVDs as DVD-Rom format, ensuring maximum compatibility with most commercial players.
The software that came with the drive works like a charm and is easy to use.
