Do not buy this of #$#@#! [Posted on 2000-01-16] This is worst product I've ever purchased. First they claim they will send you a rebate which I've never got and it's been more than 2 months already. The speed is not even close to what they claim. Take my comments to heart and don't make the mistakes that I've made. Amazon should ban this product from their site as it looks really bad to carry a non reputable vendor that doesn't live up their claims.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRIVE! [Posted on 2000-03-28] I am a computer engineer, but even I couldn't get the piece of horsesh!t to work. I went through 3 drives and countless hours of tech support, but it was totally hopeless. At least i get to keep the rebate.
Don't you dare buy this piece of #$!@! [Posted on 2000-05-08] This has gotta be THE worst drive I have ever used in my whole entire life! 48x! Yeah right! More like 16x or so... I tried using it to rip a CD using AudioCatalyst, and the DAE (Digital Audio Extraction) is only 10x, and slower sometimes! Loud as h*ll too... Sounds like a plane taking off when spinning up. DON'T BUY!
Poor customer service, but drive operates OK [Posted on 2000-05-17] The drive installed and perfomed OK for me. I was also one of the "lucky" ones who received a faster drive than what I ordered (supposedly, 1 in every 5 or so was randomly chosen to receive a faster drive). Take that for what it is worth. BUT, as for their rebate program, IT SUCKED! After about 2-3 months, I emailed Digital Research 4 times, and called twice, before FINALLY receiving a phone call from their customer service department. I then received the rebate after a total of about 4 months. Overall, I would neither buy nor recommend buying from Digital Research.
great and easy [Posted on 2002-05-17] This product is great. It installs easy and then you start up your computer and there is no problem. It is fast and easy, with great dilivery and nothing to search for on the web to make it work, like downloads. If I ever need another I'm keep this in mind.
