An AOpen & Shut Case of Value For Money
Review of AOpen CRW 5224 by BNibbles

Advantages: Very cheap, intelligent electronics keep wasted disks to a minimum
Disadvantages: None so far. How long can something this cheap last?

...purchase, but it’s replacement, an AOpen CRW5224, is only costing me a shade over £30 (yes thirty!) from www.dabs.com, AND it’s got a maximum write speed to CD-R of 52x, making full CD copies possible in just a few minutes, and I do mean a few. AOpen may well be more familiar to you as the makers of motherboards. Even if this machine only lasts the 12-month guarantee period and no longer, it’ll only cost me 66p a week to own (as for the DVD player, ...
...WORK FOR ME? The AOPen 5224, being a very recent model may give you one other headache. Can your 2-year-old CD-burning software recognise it? Just to make sure, I visited the Roxio homepage to see if any updates to my Easy CD-Creator 5.0 Platinum were available. As a precaution, I went the whole hog and took not only the main update download, but also, a minor one dated 11/09/2003, which claimed to add still more models to the software’s compatibility ...

Manufacturer's product description

AOpen's CRW5224 is an ideal all-in-one solution for reading CDs, copying audio/software CDs, creating photo/audio/video CDs, or acting as a storage drive for archiving or backup. You can write and read large data files as easily as you would from floppies. The CRW5224 CD/ReWriter drive offers unprecedented performance to handle today's demands by reading CDs at up to 52X speed, writing CD-R discs at super 52X and CD/RW discs at fastest 24X speed. CRW5224 writes a 700 MB CD-R disc within about 2 minutes and a half. The CRW5224 supports all major CD formats, offering the user full backward-compatibility through the huge installed base of CD-ROM drives and media. What's more, recorded CD-RW media can be played in a DVD player, maintaining future compatibility. Just Link technology overcomes many of the issues in 52x and higher writing speeds to CDs, and can prevent underruns by predicting when they may occur and then taking control of the writing process. JustSpeed is the function that prevents writing error when high writing speed (24x or faster) is selected. Mount Rainier enables native OS support of data storage on CD-RW. This makes the technology far easier to use and allows the replacement of the floppy. An improved anti-heat design and the OPC design boost recording reliability. Optimum Power Control continually monitors signal levels during recording and adjusts laser power to compensate for a dirty disc. This feature ensures a flat signal, significantly enhancing reliability.
