Mitsumi CR 4801TE

Advantages: Does everything a CD Re-Writer should do
Disadvantages: Not as fast as some of the later drives

...I wanted cheap backup media, I wanted easy access to all the MP3's I have, I wanted to clear some of the clutter on my hard drive, so, what options did I have. I could have gone for another hard drive - No. I could have gone for a Zip drive - Not enough on a disk. I know, a CD Re-Writer. OK, it has to be simple to use because I haven't used one before, it has to be able to create all formats of CD and above all, it has to be within my price range (which isn't very much). Right, this is where the search commenced for my new CD Re-Writer. I looked at all the options, prices and makes and finally came to the conclusion that the Mitsumi CR 4804-TE was the drive I needed. I ordered it online and within a week, I had a parcel delivered to my door :-) We all have to start in computers at some time and at the time I recieved my new CD Re... Read review

Advantages: Able to be used to transfer files
Disadvantages: Lack of compatibilaty

...It all started one merry day when i bought myself a nice little phone with built camera and bluetooth. 'OO' i said to myself, 'I can buy a bluetooth adaptor and link it to my PC to transfer over my pictures'. So I went out and bought a bluetooth adapter (dongle), it was at a reasonable price. I got my dongle home, installed the drivers, installed the Mitsumi software, and activated the bluetooth on my phone. It was great, they could see each other, i got them paired and then sent some pictures from my phone to my PC. It all worked. After browsing the Nokia website I found the version of Nokia PC suite for my 7650. I downloaded the 30mb program and installed it. I had my phone and my pc paired, but when i tried to get Nokia PC Suite to contact my phone, it didn't work. I then spent many hours in forums looking for a way... Read review

Advantages: BEST VALUE for money and Service.
Disadvantages: Has not got a Brand name

...You need a CDr/w. You need one at a good price with good fucntion?.. then the only real choice is a misumi. Wait, before you read this, if you have LOTS of MONEY, go buy a Plextor,, You'll get the same service, but pay more for the sticker on the front. Mitsumi, have come across a gem, with the advent of their CD recorders. They are the best value for money and have the specs that only branded companies like Yamaha and plextor have. the Drive has enough ram to end all buffer underruns (2 meg, 4 megs in ther new one) and the CD can burn and read all Cd discs. It had DAO and TOA facility with ability to overburn and write on 80 mins CD's. The level of support from their main website is second to none. This is a very good recorder at the price, and has given many years of good service. So good, i bought the new model!. I researched... Read review
