Physically, you'd be hard-pressed to pick the Sony DRU-800A DVD burner out of a lineup of recent Sony burners. It has the same short body (6.75 inches long), which fits nicely in smaller PCs, and it ships with the same putty-colored and black faceplates for color-coordinating with most systems. On the back of the drive, you'll find the usual array of digital and analog audio outputs, an IDE connector, a power connector, and slave/master/cable-select configuration jumpers. As we mention in every Sony burner review, the back also houses the same three mystery jumpers with no apparent function. (One of these days, we'll jumper them to see if the drive light starts blinking alien codes.) Head over to CNET to read the full review of this DVD burner from Sony.
