Summary: Not user friendly
Review: Buyer beware! hardwear installs easy-BUT WAIT! install disc is not formatted, which means some newer PC's will not allow it to be installed. Tried to contact manufacturer, no recourse given out out box and used, no return, don't have any formatted disc's either, so be very careful, nothing on box to let you know of this Tim. R.

Summary: Unbelieveable
Review: Drive installed in minutes. Running:
-Windows XP
-ECS K7S5A motherboard
-384MB DDR RAM
-Athlon 1.2GHz
Actually burned at 48x. Ripped/burned five 80min audio disks in 2 min, 20sec each, on average. Not a single pop, click or skip. Backed up some files at 12x to the CD-RW that came with it, and that was equally easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Summary: Great RW drive.
Review: I have had this drive for a couple weeks, and it kicks [...]! I have burned multiple CDs, and even more items for work. It's fast, and if you want a cheaper, slower one, try Memorex 40x12x40... same company, and same quality! I would definitely get this if I were you. :)

Summary: Okay..............
Review: Slightly easy to install but not for novices. Had problems with the software and it wouldnt install. To even get tech support you have to submit a form via their web site and wait 72 hours for conformation. But overall and okay burner for the price.

Summary: Great Drive even on older/slower computer
Review: This drive installed quite easy. It seemed not to want to go with burner as master and normal cd-rom as slave on secondary IDE channel. Made the switch to having the burner on the secondary channel and the hard drive and cd- rom on primary. This burner works great even on my computer running a Pentium 2 400 MHZ. I have no problems burning music and data. Overall great drive.

Summary: Nice Price, Speedy Burner
Review: This is a nice price for a very speedy little CD burner. I installed it easily myself, but then I'm used to installing hardware.... Folks who never open the computer cover may prefer to have a friendly neighborhood nerd do it for them. Best features: speed and reliability. I am burning audio and data CDs with remarkable speed and so far have not had a single failure -- no "coasters" from CDs that wouldn't complete. No doubt the 2 MB data buffer makes a big difference in performance, minimizing buffer errors that often occur when burning CD-ROMs. Being able to consistently burn 80 minute audio CDs in about two minutes is quite remarkable. I'm neutral on the "Nero Burning ROM" software that comes with the burner. It has some nice drag-and-drop features, but the user interface needs help. Many options are buried deep in property menus. However, the software did enable us to get up and running quickly, so it's not bad for a freebie. The Nero CD Libary feature has a serious glitch -- by default it stores audio CD information in the root of the C:\ drive, which is not advisable. This can be modified though. All in all, an easy choice -- good price, good performance for the hardware. But you will may want to look for more sophisticated software for creating CDs and maintaining a CD library.
