Full review
This CD-RW is really handy for having around if your computer doesnt have an inbuilt CD-RW or yours is broken.

The kind of disks it'll write are:
Hybrid data disks (Mac and PC compatible)
Singular Mac disks
Extended Hybrid disks
Extended Mac disks
Audio Cd's
Will copy from another selected drive
and enhanced formats such as MP3 disks

It can write at fast speeds, up to 42x which is handy if you've invested in some high quality high-speed disks! The write quality is very good, and it can even record on those cheaper disks that some machines dont like to use.

As well as copy disks, it also erases CDRW's and using quick erase will do it in seconds.

The software (Roxio Toast) is easy to use, and easy to install. On both pc and mac, u can plug the drive into a USB slot and then put in the CD, follow the install wizzard, and then you're ready to go! Its as simple as that. Pop in a disk, select the kind you want, and you're away. And for you PC people, theres a serial port cable aswell just incase you've run out of USB slots :)

As i said in my cons, the only bad thing about the writer is, with todays machines, especially Apple Macs is that it can look a bit strange as its made of that generic taupe-coloured plastic.

Id definately recomend this to people as its easy to use, handy to have around, and very very reliable. I use mine every day and have done for months now, and the write quality is second to none and i've never had any problems. So if you're looking for a decent writer, then this is for you!
