Summary: Tech support is a bust
Review: Bravo TDK! This is the best cdr burner I have seen for the price. I originally bought one for my grandfather, who finds it very easy to use, then went out and bought one for my parents. This is a fantastic product and reafirms my confidence in TDK products. If you're comparing with others, buy this one! You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Tech support is a bust
Review: I bought this product last week, followed their directions, had a 600MZ drive with 128 ram which was within their requirements.When the computer did not recognize the drive, I called tech support 3 times, and all times I was run around all over the internet to download this and download that. They didn't tell me how to find the information, just find it. Ended up having to take and have the drive installed by tech. They had to re-install OS. 98SE Still am waiting for the TDK tech to call me back after he had done some research. It was suppose to be an easy install, In my case it wasn't, and tech support gave me the run around.

Summary: A Very Nice Burner
Review: I got this burner for Christmas and have been burning MP3s and compilations of my favorite music like crazy. It's also a really nice thing to have when someone you know has a CD you were thinking of buying; that way you can just burn it onto your blank CD-R or CD-RW and save yourself some money. This burner is also really fast in recording (even if you only have one CD driver). It can burn up to 40x in speed! My computer isn't slow but its also not very fast. I have to burn things at 12x but even on that speed it's incredibly fast. Another nice thing about this specific model is that it comes with a easy to understand manual as well as a tape that goes into careful detail explaining to beginners how to use the product. Its actually really easy to use once you figure it out but for first-timers like me it can be a bit confusing. I'd say the entire process of putting all the songs into mp3 or wav format and then actually writing it, it takes about 20 minutes tops - and that's pretty fast. Some burners take up to an hour, but not with TDK's veloCD 24x10x40. The installation is also really easy to set up and the software is completely durable. I haven't had a single problem yet. WAIT! I take that back. I had a problem burning a CD once because of the song (not the device) and the CD drive refused to open. Luckily there's a little needle that you can stick through this tiny hole beneath the CD opener that automatically solves the problem. I didn't even have to call tech-support to get help. So overall this burner has its faults (like all things) but its pretty reliable in my book. I seldom have to worry about a problem arising. And if something does happen it's most likely the songs fault.

Summary: Great CD burner!
Review: I have had this product for about 1 year now and i love it.This product came with a version of Nero which is a very easy to use piece of software for buring CD's. Basically drag-and-drop and then click the burn button. Setup was very easy. It even came with a free VHS tape (i would have prefered a DVD) which showed how to install the drive. Worked fine with Windows XP Pro. Just install the drivers from the CD. The only major downfall was that this was a tad bit on the pricey side. Also, seeing how its about a year old, it is now considered "slow". I find that it works fine though, can burn a full CD (700mb) in about 5 mins. Also, the way the software controles the Buffer level, i have never had any problems during burning. A note to some though: The face plate is white with a blue cd tray. Some people may not like the blue, but i think it looks Awsome! Nothing about it seems weak of "flimzy". When the tray is out, it is very sturdy. Also had the headphone jack and volume control in the front for listing to music, although i don't use this. I am very pleased with TDK, and would quickly go back to them if i ever wanted another drive, such as their new DVD burners. To sum up, this is a great product that i have enjoyed using. ~Hope this helps

Summary: ideal burner
Review: i just wrote a review about a crappy cd player i bought so im to tired to go into detail but this tdk burner is THE BEST. nothing compares to it. the software that comes with it is pretty good you can make all kinds of cd's with nero. if you have easy cd creator 5.0 platinum and it doesnt work with it than you can download an upgrade on the roxio site. the speed of this burner is incredible however, if you have a celeron processor, or 64 mb of ram it wont work at full speed. there is no better burner than this one, it has buffer protection that protects the cd's so they rarely fail. i bought mine at costco for a hundred and thirty five and it came with a twenty dollar rebate but if you dont live by a costco you can still get it cheaper at best buy or circuit city... im telling you that you will never find anyhting better than this or at least not in the near future.

Summary: This drive is great!
Review: I picked this drive up a few weeks ago. It's an incredible drive for the price, although Amazon could stand to get their price lined up more with other vendors, as this drive has gone for as little as sixty dollars in some stores after mail in rebate.

Summary: Easy to set-up; Easy to use
Review: Instructions for setting up were a bit overdone and did not need that much explanation; most of us just need to take out the old CDROM and slide this one in and plug it to the cable inside. No issues and it fit just fine. VERY EASY Ease of use is amazing. Once loaded, I burned a CD-R very quickly on my system which is P233 (old!); faster systems should be faster. The buffering on this system is very good. I understand that it compensates for the mass memory and system resources taxing in and alleviates any mistakes. I was POd that after 5 CD-Rs successfully done, the next one had a skip in it - BUT IT WAS THE SONG! Whew, this CD-RW is tops. I have made at least 50 CD-Rs and 2-3 CD-RWs (more taxing on the system and slower) with not one problem. Don't make too many CD-RWs if you have an older system - it takes hours. And CD-Rs are so much cheaper these days. But I like having the ability to do it IF I have to. * Includes a video that I've never watched, but beginners may want to. Again, the cable that connected to the old CDROM was just pulled out and connected to this CD-RW/R, screwed in, then the PC case set back on and it was awesome. * Software bundle is good too. The choices to go for Audio, Data, or something else is very wizard friendly. Also, the drag and drop of files is easy and you can preview your songs as well as rearrange them in any order you want them to be on the CD you are making. It comes with a version of INCD which I'm not so sure what it does. It loads when my PC boots, but I don't exactly know what it does if any; but I did have the option to install at the beginning and I chose - yes. Maybe the video will explain. * If you're worried about the cost - I was. It had a (...)rebate but I paid more than what others were going for. After a review in some tech article - I chose this one with the intention of returning it if my system crashed (I have an old one). Well, I still have it and the music is sounding excellent. STRONG BUY.
