Full review

well ! aopen has launched it's new boy 56x in town.... it is surely high speed of cd rom..... but often speed gets hard luck.....

the AOPEN 56X cd rom doens not performs good according to its specifications and speed, that the company claims....

i come to few of its points, that may be useful to you before buying it...

** fist of all, the tray opens with a much speed, and after using it about 1 month or less.. the tray behaviour dramatically changes... like it opens in a loose shape .. means to say that the tray then moves left and right..... and i experienced one thing about this fact at my friends home... that the tray's this behaviour broke a small moving plastic part right back of the tray.... also it goes back even more speed and some time it feels that now the cd rom has got it's end.... :)

** Secondly, the 56x capable speed motor produces much noise and often produces mini jerks to system like shaking but it is in a low aspect ratio..

** thirdy, the cd rom often does't read the cds even new ones.. i don't know about this strange behaviour...

** the last one is that often, after inserting a cd in it , the cd rom gets a long duration speed, that continues to about 20-35 seconds, and then it reads the cd... i suggest you to keep a hot cake with you while the cd rom reads the cd :)

hope so , i am succeed to let you know about it's performance...
bye.

Silence Is A Vertu
Review of AOpen CD 956E by Technogeek

Advantages: Fast reading speed for CD-RW and CD-R formats
Disadvantages: Creates a lot of noise during use

...to the ear, unfortunatly the AOpen 956E does not provide this, in my oppion the device is noisy and sounds like its ripping your disc appart, but if sound is not on your buying list this product is a good cheap alternative to other brands or as a replacement. Also the design is one that I personelly think fits any modern computer in any colour as the pakage comes with a a variety of fronts in different colours silver, black and the one featured in ...
