Rating: Summary: Great Buy! Much capability for the money. Review: Bought this CD ReWriter after using an identical one on my brother-in-law's computer. It meets all of my expectations. I've already used it to:(1) Make a disaster recovery boot disk for my Compaq laptop -- holds all my important programs and data files. (2) Make backup CDs of my most important software. (3) Backup the hard drive on my Dell Tower. (4) Make a "formatted" floppy emulator CD that can be written and read by most Windows 95 programs. (5) Combine some of my favorite music onto a single audio CD. The furnished Adaptec software is excellent. A retired electronic engineer/programmer.
Rating: Summary: Acer 6206A (Discos quemados a medias) Review: Hace 5 meses que adquiri el el producto en cuestion, por recomendacion de un amigo. Lamento haber realizado la compra, la unidad CD-RW ademas de ser demasiado lenta (40 min a 1 hr por copia 600-650 MB)daña de 3 a 5 CD's de cada 10 que que pruebo.
Rating: Summary: Obsolete CD-RW Review: I added this to the tower of my Pentium II 450MHz in December of 1998. It took an hour to burn Music CDs and 30 minutes for Data CDs....but back then,that's how it was for everyone who had a 6X CD-RW. I used Easy CD Creator 4 with this unit,and it worked fine. It stopped working for me around mid-2002,so I threw it away. In the time that I had it,I enjoyed it well. 5/5
Rating: Summary: Excellent performance and compatibility,Pick for a New User Review: I bought these drive more than a year ago and it has worked perfectly on the last two PC I had. I connected it, as a Master drive and with another 32X CD rom, also from Acer, I have made tons of successfully copies on the fly, back ups of hard drives and so. Includes the easy to use software around. This drive is an excellent pick for a new user
Rating: Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY Review: I brought mine in January and have only been able to burn a total of six CD's. My CDRW has ruined over 20 CD's. The technecial support people are of no help. Acer sent me a new CDRW and I"m still having the same problems. It will write once in a blue moon, it locks up my system, It will test fine but when you go to do the real deal it just sits there or it will do half the disk and freeze up your system. I recommend that you do not buy this rewriter.
Rating: Summary: It's fine for music - Bad for big data Review: I used my Acer for a CD production & came out ok. Levels are a bit wonky, though. I tried to back up the audio data files & have been working with tech support for 6 months. Getting no where. They aren't much help. I'd pay more & get something that works much better.

Rating: Summary: The Acer CRW 6206A is a winner! Review: If you want a good, quality drive with great supporting software, the CRW 6206A is the one to get! I originally bought this drive to do only data backups to CD-RW, but it's been so versatile and easy to use, I've used it much more than I originally thought. Installation was a breeze. (If you've never installed a HD or CD drive before, you'll want to go slow, but it's easy. ...Really.) While the printed documentation isn't what I'd call exhaustive, when combined with the online help screens, there is no lack of support. As for performance... Okay, maybe it's not a real "screamer" when it comes to speed, but it gets the job done with ease. In short, if your need for a CD-R/RW drive is personal rather than commercial, you just can't find a better value!
Rating: Summary: Good Value Review: Installation was a breeze, I set it as a slave on IDE channel 2 with my CDROM as master. A little slow, and I wouldn't have bought it without the rebate. The Adaptec CD Creator software is a bit twitchy, you should disable Auto Insert Notification on your CDROM to eliminate possible problems. Overall, it's a great value for an entry level CD-RW unit, but I'll buy a faster unit in a little while.
Rating: Summary: worked great for 3 days! Review: It worked great for 3 days then wouldnt burn anymore cd's. It caused my regular cd-rom to stop working also. I've installed it on a few computeres to see if it wasnt just mine, and it did the same to the rest
