Buyer Reviews :
I bought this after reading the review at CNET.com which gave it high marks for Writing but only above average rating for Reading and Rewriting. And that is what I wanted - a fast and error-free writer - which this product does very well. I have a DVD drive for reading and rewriting is something that is not done often - unless you are a backup freak.

The software that came Nero is user friendly and less error-prone. Also, it included InCD software - so that cd writing is a just a drag and drop. Although, a point to note is that Roxio EasyCD is becoming more popular in the new PC's sold. But, that should make little difference as the functional use of it i.e., burning is supposed to be better with Nero (though I never used Roxio)

Here are some things to be noted before buying this:

a) what's in the box........cd-rw drive, e/ide cable, audio cable, mounting screws, one-page illustrated setup guide, user guide (soft copy) and Nero burning software. Minimum requirements - pII 400mhz , win98, 64mb ram.
Supports: cd-rw 700/650mb (80/74min) ::; cd-r 800/700/650mb (90/80/74 mins) ::; video-cd, photo cd....., multi-session writing. The description at the manufacturer's website is too technical to make much sense. I am including the CNET url as it has the technical specifications needed before making a purchase. http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-1095-404-21007267.html?tag=pdtl-list

b) did an extensive search using price comparision websites and the price is the lowest here

c) the software that comes is Nero and not Roxio EasyCD (and this is NOT a bad thing)

d) the model is SW-252BRNS not SW-252BRAS (one might think it is an oversized lingerie product)

e) the shipping box didn't come with packing slip nor receipt...... and I had to print the invoice of the net.

f) deleivered on 4th working day since the order placement. And that is okay for me considering that I used free shipping.

Overall pros:
- fast burning (with high 8mb buffer)
- easy hardware and software installation (i use 550mhz pIII win98)
- includes all required cables and parts unlike others drive out there (e/ide and audio cables , mounting screws)
- good burning software
- low price
- compatible with Microsoft's Mount Rainier (CD-RW as floppy) initiative
- 24/7 support from manufacturer besides an year warranty

Cons:
- mmm......none that I can think of

If needed, I had buy this again and from here.
