Buyer Reviews :
This is my 2nd CD-RW drive and the 1st I had was an external parallel port HP CD-Writer running at 2x/2x/6x. Being able to burn at 16X was a real treat! Just 4:30 minutes to burn was really great. After the awful experiences with buffer underruns I used to expect from my older drive I didn't really think 16X was possible unless you had a SCSI Hard disk as well. But I was so wrong!! It ran beautifully at 16X with my Quantum 20GB EIDE Hard disk. It is generally understood that you need to defragment the hard disk to avoid fragmentaion and increase performance, so I had been running regular defragmentations and my drive was relativeley defragmented. My only problem was when I tried to burn a CD-RW at 10X as the drive indicates the software would only show me 2X and 4X speed options. And at 4X it would take around 20 minutes which is far too long. I later realised all of those old CD-RW disks i used to use on my older 2x burner was only capable of speeds upto 4x. You need to get the '10x certified high speed' CD-RW disks to burn at the highest possible speed.
Also I experienced what some users are complaining about as 'Bad media' when you insert blank CD-R media. But this was only before I rebooted for the fisrt time after installing the software. I figured out this was attributed to EasyCD 4.x which I was using, when I switched over to Nero burning rom the problem was gone, still if you use adaptec I expect there must be a patch that fixes this problem or just reboot the system as it will work fine once the PC is rebooted.
I have now burned hundreds of CDs and even with my hard disk not being defragmented, and have had very few buffer under run errors. I have even burned across the network at 12x and no problems. (but this may not be a wise thing to do)
