...good writing

Advantages: read my opinion
Disadvantages: read my opinion

The TDK Cyclone 24x10x40 is a genuine professional in things burns. It is a pure Noname blank, which is also so cheap therefore. For only scarcely 1,5? it is to be had in each well sorted specialized trade. The blank is packed in a sturdy covering, which is much flat. There is this blank to buy however also now and then times with sickeren coverings. I find the thinner better, since one saves so half at place. The thicker ones are good for inscriptions ...
...a project and on the fast in an unsorted CD shelf wants to find it, one should seize to the thicker. I added myself so far 4 blanks of this mark. Since these are like crude cryable, custom one not so much many. There were not so far ever problems with burns. No losses, no errors with reading and/or writing or the like. One hardly sees a difference between a taped CD RW blank and a unplayed. With many one does not recognize it by the color of the ...

Review of TDK CyClone CD-RW drive

The disc, the disc, the disc is on fire.........

Advantages: Has the light scribe facility, cheap, reliable - Great value for money
Disadvantages: Not pleasing to the eye, fairly large and bulky, loud during the burning process

...up, so step up the LG GSA-E60L. I primarily looked at this drive because of the low price. Whilst there were cheaper drives out there, I had never heard of such brands so I was quite skeptical. The drives could have been made in the same factory as the top brands and given an unknown label (I know many things are manufactured in this way), hence I could have got a bit of a bargain. Alternatively, the products could have been absolute rubbish. It ...
...Looks The LG is black and understated, however it is not modern looking or sleek in any way. It is one of the larger, bulkier and uglier external drives I have seen, but all things considered this is forgivable, however if you are one of those people that put looks over functionality and practicality then this external drive is definitely not for you. When dealing with computer peripherals I always go for functionality and value for money over ...

Review of LG GSA E60L Super-Multi

decent product if you have some back ground knowledge

Advantages: Fast and reliable
Disadvantages: Noisy and needs its own plug socket. Roxio is over complicated for personal use.

When i first opened my freecom dvd recorder i was impressed. it looked decent and very well put together. The installation went well even though it took longer than i had intailly hoped. When it comes to backing up your dvds and cd's the freecom does what you want it to do. It will not convert avi files to dvd format. I also found that the roxio program that comes with the freecom dvd recorder is not helpfull in its tutorial, the program seems over ...
...drive itself is worth having for these reasons; * Reliable and durable (yes i tested mine!) * Easy to set-up due to USB connections. * Fast The Freecom is a little loud and it does require its own plug socket (simular to mobile phone chargers in size). ...

Review of Freecom DVD RW Recorder USB 2.0

good shape it is attractive and it has good speeds

Advantages: good shape it is attractive and it has good speeds
Disadvantages: not compatible with all cd's

My drive came installed with the computer and It has worked fine. I was really under the impression that it was good quality. It's only when I wanted to install another hard drive on the same ide channel that I have encountered problems. it really good device it has a good and attractive shape and alarge features and the speed of it when it use as a cd is good 48x and 24x is very enough but in the case of dvd the speed is 4x and 8x which is not enough ...
...dvd's as it was burning, anything from movies to games, the scratch was always in exactly the same place, fine for some movies, but games useless they did not work. Decided to burn the game on maximum speed, burnt 3/4 of the way and stopped. Same spot that it was putting the scratch. Doesn't work anymore, not only won't it burn dvd's anymore, won't read anything either. Mind you this burner has had very little use in the 2 1/2 months that I have ...

Review of Gigabyte GO-W1616B

Stable and always works

Advantages: Stable and always works
Disadvantages: None that I have come across

it works very well in any ms os including vista, i have used in on over 500 dvd's backing up data and the like dual layer is fast burning too only looking to replace this with black fascia or a bluray disk. I really bought it because on the 4-5 forums I checked, this product came out the least beaten (and as you may know, forum users a direct, if not blunt about even the smallest of problems). I have no experience how it performs under Microsoft ...
...almost three years (at least if my memory serves me correctly it is the same model of drive). In the time that I have used this drive it has never failed to burn correctly either on windows or under linux (ubuntu). It is always prudent to burn burn at a slower rate than the maximum, however at times, I have burned at maximum speed and never received errors. It is a good drive that you may not be able to buy new any more. ...
