Full review
I knew that buying an external SCSI writer would be pricey and at the time, the 426 was the best. Although most people laugh at its capabilities now, the truth of the matter is that it has served me very well indeed. I have moved it from one machine to another quite frequently and never had any problems with hardware conflicts. Additionally I have experienced considerably less buffer underruns than I did with my first writer, whether because it was an IDE drive I don't know.
I have found it worked exceptionally well, especially with WinonCD 3.6 and Adaptec Easy CD Creator 3.01 and later. I have no quibbles either about its CDRW capability, other than of course the lack of speed - but that was standard at the time.
