never buy it if you do not want to waste your money and time.......2004-05-25

not even an one star product - a third class product from a first class company(!). It worked initially in Windows 98SE. But once I tried XP - problem started - the customer service seems to be from North Pole - worthless and rude. After weeks hardwork - it suddenly started working again before gone dead for ever (within one and half years of slow bad performance).

Burner works OK and DIES after 2 years.......2003-12-18

This burner was my first burner and it worked fine for the few times that I used it. I was unable to get it to interact with the existing CDROM drive in ny computer though. Sometimes it didn't like to burn onto CDR media and I don't know why. Now, after about 2 years, it had DIED. Right now it is detected by windows 98, showing up in Device Manager and a drive letter does appear in Windows Explorer. The strange thing is that I cannot get the stupid thing to recognize a disk, either normal CD or anything. The activity light constantly blinks and it does not read the disks and when a disk has been placed the drive DOES NOT OPEN up again. You cannot get it to open to retrieve the disk until the computer is rebooted.

I do NOT recommend this drive unless you want to buy a new drive every two years. and the $70+ price i saw on this website is pathetic and highway robbery.

Thanks.

Best used as recycle waste!.......2003-10-31

Well, It worked "OK" for about a year. All of the sudden it stopped working after the warranty was completed. Did not work well with virus software installed and never create CD-ROMs at the max speed. Overheated and crash the computer several times before it completely died. Buy something else!!!!!!

Great for making coasters!.......2003-10-20

As a coaster maker I give this unit 5 stars......heck 6 stars, but as a CD burner I'd give it zero stars if I could. Even on a fast machine with plenty of memory you get numerous buffer underruns and you get them almost everytime. I've tried all the best burner software from Roxio to Nero and have tried it in 3 computers and only 1 of the 3 computers did it even work half of the time.

All in all a very shotty unit and not what I'd expect from the company that invented the CD-Rom!

As Uncle Jed would say........"pitful....jest pitiful"

Problems here!.......2002-05-11

CD Burner was working great. Give it about a month and the burner will not recognize any of your cd's. I thought it was the software I was using, so I got rid of the Adaptec Burning Software that came with it and installed Nero. Same problem! Tried to reinstall the drivers. Still nothing there. I thought it might be the OS so I changed from Windows 2000 to XP. Same Problem! So installed the old Windows 98. Same problem. I guess i get what I paid for. Cheap price cheap product.
