Full review
Previous to my Yamah drive I had aowned an IDE 2speed Mitsumi drive, for over a year. This drive did the job and I never found a CD that I couldnt copy (even though it was only a TAO recorder) and its range of features was adequate (it supported 80min media) The reason I upgraded to the 4x4x16 SCSI Yamaha device was the reccomendations of many people on the net who all said pretty much the same thing. "If you can buy a Plaxtor, if not a Yamaha and make sure its SCSI" I wondered why it mattered if it was SCSI or not as the data rate needed (600kb a sec) would be no problem for my IDE Bus.

When I got the drive and started using it i soon saw the benefits of SCSI. My system used to become really sluggish during a burn and trying to do anything whilst burning almost certainly ended up with a nice shiny coffee mat. With the Yamaha SCSI drive I can play MP3s, Surf the net, send emails and even play games using my other CD-ROM while burning CDs. The CDRW just keeps on burning and the Read Buffer never ever drops below 98% even durning simultaneous 3D games and CD-Burning.

The main reason for the stability is the way SCSI works in comparison to IDE. A SCSI drive and card pretty much look after themselves, whereas an IDE Drive & bus need considerably more attention from the CPU.

So if you want a quality CD burner that will never burn a coaster (unless you screw up the burn settings badly) go for a SCSI Yamaha (PLextor are meant to be better but I have never had the pleasure ;)

Review of Yamaha CRW 4416S by cicymru

Advantages: see article
Disadvantages: see article

An expensive peice of kit but it more than does the job. After having this product for a little less than a year, I am quite pleased with it. The 4416S is a 4x writer, 4x rewriter, and a 16x reader. It operates on a SCSI-2 bus, which if you did not know, is a lot faster than your ordinary IDE bus, but requires a separate controller. After mastering a number of different types of software I now believe there is not alot that this machine can not do ... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

The CRW4416S is the answer to your data storage, back-up and transfer needs. No other storage medium is so cost-effective. No other medium can be read by 200 million computers world wide. And no other medium lets you record music and play it back on your stereo or in your car. Yamaha sets the standard for CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) drives. Yamaha quality, reliability, speed, features, bundled software and reputation are just a few of the reasons why. The generous 2MB buffer virtually eliminates buffer underrun, saving you time and wasted media. You can add files to a CD one at a time with drag and drop, floppy-disk-like ease. The CRW4416S uses Flash ROM: your CD-RW drive operating system updating becomes quick and easy. The ultimate data storage solution, the CRW4416S is a 3-in-1 drive. Use it with CD-R (write once) media, CD-RW (rewriteable) media, or as a CD-ROM drive. Choose CD-R media for archiving and distribution of data. Or pick CD-RW media for back up.
