Advantages: Fast, burnproof, easy to install, comes with Nero software Disadvantages: Relatively expensive
...spent £200) I chose the TDK Cyclone 12 x 10 x 32 Burnproof Internal IDE drive. I paid (or will be) £179 for the retail pack which comes with the drive (obviously), Nero Burning Rom software, TDK mix master software, cables, marker pen, one cdr and one cdrw.
Installation is very easy, just a matter of sliding it into the tower, attaching the leads (the drive is set as master by default) and powering up the system. The drive is recognised by Windows ... ...in all this is a very good drive which can be bought online for around £150, but this should drop as TDK have just released a newer version that offers 16 speed writing, but in all honesty this is probably as fast as you will need.

The whole set-up also allows you to multi-task which means the end of having to wait for your CD to burn before starting some work or surfing the web, you can do both at once.
For £50 this little diamond is perfect for anyone out there ...

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.
