Summary: Reliability problems
Review: I bought this drive earlier this year. Setup was easy and it worked well and reasonably fast. Very noisy, however, such that it was like having a big fan next to me. I don't burn that many disks but after 10 months of light usage, it is currently having problems reading and writing. I've made 4 coasters lately and tried using different brands of CDs to no avail. This drive is being replaced with an Iomega Super DVD combo drive.

Summary: Never a problem
Review: I use this unit with the software supplied (Nero) with Win2K, on a 3-year-old desktop. I NEVER have had a problem. On the other hand, I struggled for 2 years with a far more expensive unit and CD Creator 5 (and all its patches and updates), and got nothing but frustration.Others have mentioned the speed issue: remember that the fastest advertised recording speed is only possible with USB 2.0, not 1.0, and when recording only some types of files.

Summary: support is not good.
Review: Just ordered the Cendyne as referred by cnet.com. Speed seems good but customer support is bad. Product was missing software and for some strange reason it had a MS Small Business Edition cd already loaded in the drive? So either I was sent a return or this cd was in there from the manufacturer. Submitted a trouble ticket with their support inquiring about the missing software and the only reply i got so far was 'please register your product' which i did immediatley but so far 2 weeks have gone by without any reply.

Summary: Poor Performance
Review: This drive is portrayed as being 40x12x40, but this is misleading. The maxium speed at which the drive burns a CD is 32x, it does not go above that. And even burning at a speed of 32x takes more time than my old Philips 4x. I am really disappointed with the performance of this drive.
