Best Drive Your Money Can Buy :-) [Posted on 2002-12-06]
I am very happy with my TDK 48X16X48 Drive...Not only it burns my CD's at a Blazing speed But read one of my scratched old favorite Jazz CD's that skips when I play it in my car accurately into crisp MP3 files, I was using "musicmatch JUKEBOX" Rip Utilities.
Excellent drive [Posted on 2003-01-06]
... This drive SUPPORTS Mt. Rainier (UDF 1.02), Mt. Rainier is the next generation UDF packet writing technology and it is better than UDF 1.50 which most of us are using right now (if you use packet writing at all). Mt. Rainier UDF technology handles error correction at the firmware level by the drive instead of by the burning software such as InCD, DirectCD, DLA, InstantWrite. The initial format is only 2 mins instead of 45 mins in UDF 1.50. This drive is very quiet and this is a very rare for drives that run faster than 32x.
made a novice happy [Posted on 2003-02-26]
I was considering an external CD-RW because I've never had the guts to open up my PC, but when I saw the good reviews of this model, along with a very nice rebate, I figured I'd give it a shot. The installation instructions were extremely helpful, both the "video" and the quick-start poster. It took me about an hour because I was being extremely careful at every step. So far, it has worked very well. Thanks, TDK!
Excellent product performance [Posted on 2003-10-21]
I won't spend any time on hardware installation - they're all the same when you get right down to it - but I would like to pass along my comments on the drive's performance and the software's ease of use. I value quiet operation and fast read/write performance and this drive delivers on both. It is much more quiet than the OEM drives that came with both of my Dell desktops and the kids' HP Pavillion. There's no chatter or intrusive mechanical noise at all. As for speed, this drive tears right through data CDs, music CDs, you name it. It noticeably outperforms a Dell OEM drive with the same nominal speed ratings. The bundled software is pretty good, too. Nero Express seems easy enough and the TDK Digital Blender software offers a great deal of user flexibility. This is an excellent hardware/software package. Can't beat it.
Do NOT buy this burner! [Posted on 2003-10-31]
I ended up w/ this burner as a warranty replacement for my first VeloCD, which went toes up after about a month. Less than a year later, I have a completely useless burner that stalls at 6% and then freezes my entire system. After NUMEROUS emails and phone calls to TDK, I finally got "authorization" to send it in for replacement. I am so fed up, I am going to buy a Lite-On and wash my hands of it.
Look elsewhere....this burner is not work the carboard box it is packaged in.
