Summary: Better than nothing, but there must be something better
Review: It seems odd that this CD-RW drive is still on the market, as it is rather slow for today's demands. The Adaptec software that shipped with my drive had some sort of conflict, which made it impossible to record music. Fortunately, Pacific Digital customer service worked with me and got me NTI CD-Maker, which worked well enough for burning CDs but not as well for printing labels. Once everything is up and running, putting together a disk is fairly straightforward, albeit time consuming for music CDs. The end result is great: your own music mix on CD or a handy way to backup data files and photos off of your hard drive. I was thrilled to get this drive a few years ago. Now I think I would look for something with more bang for the buck.

Summary: Great
Review: It's a really good buy for it's price. I bought it a few months ago. It's was really easy to install. It works great too. I use it to burn everything. For this price it's a great external drive!

Summary: Weird, but it works
Review: This looks like an internal IDE that was put in a plastic box, with some conversion hardware that turns it into external USB. Maybe they're all like that - this is the only one I've ever bought. Makes you want to take it out of the plastic box and install it as an internal drive....The drive has worked great. I used it to back up my crucial data just days before my old hard drive crashed. Only four stars because, 1) the plastic box/cd drive are hard to get back together, after you take them apart, and, 2) the Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4 software that came with it, hangs under certain circumstances, when you're backing up data. I've personally never seen any 5-star burner software, but I haven't worked with CD burners a whole lot.
