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...
more...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 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.

I can’t speak highly enough about Yamaha products as a whole, and their range of Re-Writers is no exception.

I bought a one of the 6416s series and it has been excellent. I chose the SCSI version and not the IDE because of problems I had heard about concerning the way IDE works in this area.

Having looked around extensively, I found a great deal at Insight. I bought the Re-writer and an Adaptec PCI SCSI card to connect it to my motherboard. SCSI is much quicker than IDE and when ‘burning’ a CD that is important. You should get all the software you need included.

Everything installed itself in Windows 98 and I was up and running within a ten minutes. It writes data and audio and around 1 megabyte per second without any problems. Yamaha units usually have at least 2 megabytes of buffer memory build in, so very few CD making sessions go wrong.

I have only ruined two CD out of around three hundred, at that was because I wasn’t using the correct settings.

You won’t be disappointed if you buy a Yamaha Re-writer along with a Adaptec SCSI card, but make sure you go for the SCSI version – it may cost a little more, but it will be worth it. The fact that it will cut down on ruined CD’s will pay for itself.
