This burner rocks, having dealt with a HP 4x burner..., I was ready to move up. Installation was simply, easy and fast, I was burning within 10 minutes (win98 startup is slow.....)
I burned 580 megs in 2:45, the data verification took roughly 3 minutes. much faster than my previous burner. .. I was going in to buy the 32X, but they ran out, so I broke down (don't mind the pun) and bought the new one. I've burned 10 CD-Rs so far, and none have failed, (no restart in between burns). I;ve been using 48X and 32X CD-Rs, lower speed CD-R/Ws might have someother unforseen problems.

The CD-RW full erase takes about 30-40 minutes.

I primarily bought this Burner to archive my music and data, and it works well. registering the product is simple, but you gotta do a somewhat long survey.

don't worry about generic CD-Rs, i've tried 5 different generic brands and name brands such as TDK, memorex, imation, most work...

The ability to update is good, and like most faster burners, you can do other things while you burn without fear of errors.

it's a good...product.

I Don't Know of a Better Burner
This series of burners never fails to please. The first one I bought was a 16 speed for my personal computer. For different machines I have owned or worked on for clients I have seen just about every model up to this 48 speed featured here.

This is a pretty impressive piece of equipment. . . I was burning full CD-Rs in less than 3or 4 minutes. It was quick enough that I never really thought about timing it. The software is easy for most any general burning task. Obviously, it is not going to do any of the "Clone" functions. But data, .mpegs, and music all are a breeze. This is definatly well worth the money, and I will not stray from the brand in my own personal use. (sometimes I get called away from TDK for business). I am happy to see that the burner is still using the bright blue, Mac-looking CD tray. (you can't see the blue when the CD door is closed). I can't think of a burner that has done the job for me with as little problem.

made a novice happy
I was considering an external CD-RW because I've never had the guts to open up my PC, but when I saw the good reviews of this model, along with a very nice rebate, I figured I'd give it a shot. The installation instructions were extremely helpful, both the "video" and the quick-start poster. It took me about an hour because I was being extremely careful at every step.

So far, it has worked very well. Thanks, TDK!
