Summary: My advice? Pick something else.
Review: Though it says it works with a 1.1 USB port, it doesn't. (And, btw, at no point does it say you MUST have 2.0) And both the manual that comes with the burner and tech support is the worst I've ever seen. (And, having had to deal with Gateway in the past, that's really saying something.) I've had the burner for 3 weeks and have yet to successfully burn a single CD (though the burner has ruined 8 CDs for reasons no one can explain).My advice? Pick a different product and buy it from a store where you can a) see how it works firsthand, and b) have an actual person to direct questions to.

Summary: drive doesn't work Yamaha doesn't want to help
Review: We use the Yamaha CRW to back up data files and since it's installation, it's been running about 10 hours a day. We have found it to be an excellent unit, despite the extremely heavy use it's been subjected to. After initial tests, I quit using it at its maximum copy speed - I was getting too many copy errors and dead discs. But if you take it down a couple of notches, it's still very fast and much more reliable. The drive is easy to install and use. The software is intuitive and quick to learn. Very good value.
