Manual of product AD-7700S
Editorial note
The Sony Optiarc AD-7700S stands out for its optimal writing and reading speeds, reaching 24x for CDs and 8x for DVDs. These performances are enhanced by a fast access time, providing a smooth and efficient user experience. Additionally, its SATA interface facilitates a quick connection with various devices, and its compact and sleek design allows it to fit easily into small spaces while remaining attractive due to its black color. However, this product has some limitations. It does not support Blu-ray disc burning, which can be frustrating for users needing to copy high-capacity media. Furthermore, the DVD reading speed, set at 8x, may seem slow compared to other recent models. Although the access time is satisfactory, it may not meet the expectations of users looking for ultra-fast performance when handling large amounts of data. The lack of an internal mechanism also limits installation options, while the 2 MB buffer may cause performance issues during demanding tasks. In terms of value for money, the Sony Optiarc AD-7700S is positioned in a reasonable range, but the limited features may not suit all users. Overall, this model represents a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and high-performing optical drive for everyday tasks, despite some restrictions in advanced features.Score details
