Internal - IDE - Read speed: 32x - Write speed: 4x - Rewrite speed: 4x more

The CD-RW 400 Series kits feature a new, powerful and fast internal CD-RW drive capable of a maximum write and rewrite speed of 4x and a read speed of up to 32x, making it one of...
more...the most advanced CD-RW drives available on the market. The increased write and rewrite speeds enable users to record, erase and re-record content downloaded from the Internet or the computer’s hard drive at up to 600 kb/second. In addition, the 32x CD-ROM feature provides rapid reading of recorded data at 4,800 Kb/sec and its 2 MB buffer reduces buffer underruns.

...1 coaster. I'm running the philips drive (it's a 4x4x32 drive) on a k6-3 400 machine with a udma 33 HDD, 64 MB RAM, and a 40x cd reader. I only ever burn at 4x, and it's proving very successful. ... Read review
