Summary: It's Done Before The Frozen Pizza...
Review: Pop in that cd-r and let it rip. I can start a buring projcect, cook a pizza for 10-12 minutes and bam! It's done. Rockin' In The Free World! I have yet to burn a bad disc on this machine.
I installed it myself. The instructions were easy to follow and the tech support was great. Excellent Nero software was included to.
Highly recommended and by now should be available and a very good price.

Summary: Only lasted 14 months, JUNK!!
Review: Should get a negative 5 stars!! What a waste of a $140!!! After just 14 months this thing crapped out on me. I used this drive quite frugally, maybe burnt 30 CD's or less. It started dying by just burning half of the data and then one day it stopped recognizing that there was a disk in the drive at all. My faith in the Yamaha brand has just plummeted. If you want a really amazing drive for less money get a Lite-On!! It is the same brand that most major computer manufacturers use, all the quality without the big name brand on the front. Only $60 and it runs like a champ and ten times faster then the Yamaha ever ran. I have switched all my drives to Lite-On, they are top quality drives for dirt cheap cost. Both my DVD and CD drive perform perfectly!!

Review: Simply put,an awesome drive.To the reviewer in Alexandria
VA,your problem is not with the drive it's with your computer.
If the drive isn't recognized you've got an IRQ conflict.Put the
drive on the secondary IDE connector and set the jumper to either
master or cselect.You shouldn't even need to look at the manual to install these drives.You simply plug in the ide cable,power connector and then the audio connector.If your drive isn't recognized or is unstable then you more than likely have two devices sharing the same IRQ.Make sure your jumpers are set correctly and if your bios cannot detect and assign IRQ's auotomatically then you're going to have to assign one manually within the bios.IF you connect the drive to the primary IDE cable
(the same one your hard drive is on)you better make sure the jumper is set to slave or cselect.The first drive is always the master and the rest need to be designated slave or cselect.

Summary: THE BEST
Review: The best and fastest CD-RW drive out there. True 24X, 8 MB of buffer, SafeBurn protection, P-CAV technology with no gaps between the zones - great for high quality audio (Z-CLV ...), great seek time, cool looking blue LED, CD-MRW support, Nero Burning Rom 5.5, Audio Master Quality Recording.

Summary: Nicely done.
Review: The install took about 5 minutes, even in a cramped HP. Running Windows XP made it even easier, as the driver was installed automatically when I powered it up. The software is sweet, and the speed is *AWESOME*......about 4 minutes to burn a full CD! Having had a 4X burner before, this is akin to discovering the microwave for me. Enjoy!

Summary: A piece of junk
Review: They my be fine when they work but if you ever have a problem your out of luck.There customer support said my only option is to buy a new one. Mine was only 14 months old and three cds. A hundred bucks bites the dirt. Needless to say I won't be buying another Yamaha product. It is to bad I can't give it neg. stars

Summary: Just barely out of warranty
Review: This has not been the best drive that I have had by far, 14 months old and dead but Yamaha did say they would be glad to fix it for a price or just buy a new drive which would be cheaper.

Summary: never been easier
Review: This is my second CDRW drive, my first was a 4 by 4 by 24, it usually took about 20 minutes to fill a CD. Now I can fill a CD in just over 3 minutes which is great. Installation was easy, just opened the case and replaced it with my current drive. After that I installed the included software and was burning and ripping MP3's with in 10 minutes. With the 8meg buffer and "SmartBurn" you can run programs with no worry of wasting a CD.

Summary: Awesome CD Burner, You Can't Go Wrong
Review: This was my second CD Burner. My first one was an HP 8550i with a 4x4x24 speed. The HP was very flakey. The Yamaha CRW3200EZ installed flawlessly. Now instead of taking 45 minutes to burn 650MB of data onto the disc, it only takes about 3 to 4 minutes to burn the same data. That was only burning at 16x. The one CD-R that I got with the drive was a 24x rated CD and I filled that thing in less than 3 minutes. The ripping speed of this drive is awesome also. The prices on this unit have really come down so now is probably a good time to buy. I don't see a whole lot more time spent improving this technology when DVD-R is emerging. So if your waiting for the drives to get faster than they are now, you may end up waiting a long time. So I would advise that if you are in the market for a new burner, you can't go wrong with this one.
