Philips PCA 460RW

The Philips CDRW 400 series CD-Rewriter contains everything you need to get started recording CDs immediately, including IDE and audio cables, recording software, and blank discs. The CDRW 400 series is an internal 16X reading, 4X writing, and 4X rewriting drive that allows you to create your own audio and data CDs on 650MB discs. It records to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-R discs can be read by almost all CD-ROM drives and cost just $1 to $2 each so they are great for sharing files. They also can only be recorded once so they are ideal for backing up your valuable data or creating archives. CD-RW discs provide the convenience of being able to write and rewrite to the same disc over and over again so they are perfect for storing digital photos and multimedia presentations. PC compatible, the CDRW 400 series has EIDE/ATAPI interface for easy installation. With an EIDE/ATAPI interface, there are no clumsy jumpers to fumble with or complicated controller configurations. Installing it is as simple as mounting it in your 5.25-inch half height bay and tightening a couple of screws. Once you've completed these steps, you'll be recording your own CDs in no time. The included Write2CD recording software features a user-friendly interface designed by Philips with a recording engine by CeQuadrat. The program automatically launches when you insert a blank CD. You can then create your own CDs by simply dragging and dropping data, sound, and multimedia files onto your CD. You can rename, and delete, and create new folders on your CD. Write2CD also has a console for recording from external sources such as tape players, hi-fi systems, synthesizers, and microphones. You can also use it to make professional looking inlay cards, booklets, and CD labels. Just edit the text, select the graphics, and then print them in color.
