 Runs almost 2X longer than rated! Jan 19, 2008
By Cheapskate
This unit will give you a replace drum indication via a simple page counter @ 20,000. If you do regular printing - simple forms, invoices, etc. and don't print a lot of greyscale, like photos and such, you can easily get 36,000 to 42,000 pages. When you start to get streaking or little sploches or dots of toner, then replace. I have done this many times and it doesn't hurt a thing as long as you have a new drum ready to go when the defects show up. Save some money & the environment!

 Maybe I should not have spent my money on this... May 17, 2007
By Russell B. Richelsoph
I am one of those guys who dutifully changes the oil in his car when the mileage is up. So, of course, when my Brother printer hit the 20,000 mark and started telling me it was time to replace the drum, I spent the money and did it. Of course, the drum I had was printing just fine, but who was I to argue with scheduled maintenance?
Now with my NEW drum, I get ghost printing when I print envelopes. I get a weak image of the first text and then a second even weaker image of the text again below it. It is like the toner is sticking to the drum and getting put on the paper a second time as the drum turns. If I move the blue slider back and forth a few times it will clear up for a little while.
I need to call Brother and let them know my problem. I regret, though, spending the money on a new drum, when my old one was working perfectly fine. Unfortunately, I through the old one out before we discovered the problem with the new one.

Brother Drum Nov 24, 2008
By John Bilas
I ordered this because the advertisement said that it was an original "Brother" drum. Upon receipt of the product it was not an original "Brother" drum but a reworked one. No where in the ad was this stated. I could have bought a reworked replacement for less elsewhere. Since I needed the drum right away it was not convenient for me to return it even though the amazon partner would allow me to do so. Be careful when you order these types of things to insure that you are getting actually what you expect and not an inferior replacement.

New - Exactly as advertised Jan 29, 2009
By Marty
Review date: 01/29/09 -- When I read the reviews on this product, I almost didn't buy it from Amazon because of the negative reviews that said this DR510 drum unit was a *compatible* or *refurbished* unit. However, the unit I received is a brand new drum unit manufactured by Brother, and fulfilled by Amazon -- it is exactly as advertised by Amazon. We haven't used this one, yet, but it appears we received exactly what we ordered.
If you're reviewing or buying this product, please be aware that Amazon offers several options for the Brother DR510 drum unit: (1) brand new, (2) used, (3) refurbished. When you do your search for "DR510", the *first* option that comes up is for the brand new units, followed by the other (and less expensive) possibilities. I wonder if some of the negative reviews about this product are due to the possibility that the reviewer/buyer was posting a review to the wrong page?

 This is NOT manufactured by Brother! Oct 29, 2008
By Karl Cepull
Even though the title of this item is "Brother DR510 20000 Page Drum Unit", it is NOT by Brother. It is a "compatible" unit. There is nothing in the product description that indicates this is NOT an OEM (Brother) item, and I feel that this is very misleading. I have not yet decided whether to try it out anyway, or return it based on false advertising.
