Review: Even though I was satisfied with the performance of my kenwood CDRom drive (while it worked), it mysteriously died after only one and one-half years of minimal usage. I was a little disappointed that a CDRom that carried the price tag it had would prove unreliable. I still haven't heard back from the company about the possibility of a replacement (approx. 3 months time).

Summary: Fast drive, but only when it works right.
Review: I bought my 72X Kenwood drive in January of 2000. During that time I've had a sort of love-hate relationship with it. It seems to have a lot of bugs that need to be worked out in it still. Specifically with games it has LOTS of problems. It wouldn't even work at all with Black & White until I unchecked the DMA mode option. I have had problems with a lot of other games as well. If I had to do it over again I would save myself the [price] and go with an Asus drive.

Review: I have had this drive for over a year now, and am overall very pleased with it. The speed is everything promised, and is extremly quiet. I have only had 2 problems with the drive, both easily corrected. 2 months ago, the drive completly died. After emailing Kenwood's support, I received an RMA number within 2 days. I received a brand new drive 10 days after sending my old one. What can I say? Kenwood support is excellent. The other problem I encountered was after rewiring my system and upgrading to XP Pro Corporate. The drive wanted to recognize most of my CDs as audio dics. It turned out that the drive didnt like sitting on my ATA 100 controller. I don't blame this on my drive, but rather the native VIA motherboard drivers XP uses. If you want the best CDROM known to man, get the drive. It's well worth the price of admission.

Summary: Amazingly fast and quiet
Review: This is what happens when a company THINKS instead of just producing the same stuff everyone else does. Instead of running at high speed and putting a real big number on their drive and then telling you when you get it home that the drive only reaches that MAX speed at certain points on the disk (like everyone else does)... Kenwood did something smart. They read seven tracks at a time. This means that the drive spins slower and yet reads faster than other drives. It also means that it is virtually silent (unlike most other drives).
