Summary: TDK did It Again. Reliable Fast Burner
Review: I got this burner as an upgrade for my 12X velocd. The installation was quick and easy(no need to pry open my computer). I can burn using different speeds (max 40x)depending on media quality. To take advantage of hi-speed writing just make sure you have a working USB 2.0 port( don't buy this product if you only have USB 1.1).

The bundled Nero 5.5 software is very reliable and easy to use(even easier by using the Wizard). I love the CD TXT writing feature where I can access the free internet database. That way I don't need to manually type the song track title and song artist. Also burnproof technology that comes with the velocd makes my compiled and/or copied CDs perfect everytime.

The TDK mixmaster software works great and has loads of feature found on expensive players.

TDK did it again by offering a reliable hardware and a robust software bundle. I think of this as really a great value, more stuff for the money.

A final word. Read carefully the minimum PC requirements for this product. Keep burning!

Summary: Great external CD-R/W
Review: I love my external TDK USB 2.0 CD-R/W Drive 40x12x48x. I used this CD-R/W drive to successfully imaged my Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000 and RedHat Linux 8.0 partitions using Norton Ghost 2003 from my desktop and laptop computers. I also successfully created VideoCDs of my favorite home videos using the included Nero software. I used the drive off a USB2 PCI card and operated on 40x write speed, as fast as I expected from the drive. This is one device you can be proud to own.

Summary: No regrets.
Review: I purchased my CD-RW drive from major electronics chain after I saw it advertised. I purchased based on price and the fact I exclusively used TDK brand audio tapes years ago. Yes, I had difficulty installing, but that was because I used Windows' install feature, which couldn't find the enclosed drivers, instead of following the directions and using the installation utility supplied by TDK. DOH! Also, when duplicating discs, I encountered the application hanging, but I discovered this was caused by serious circular source disc scratches. Once cd's were fixed to remove the scratches, no problems encountered with the use. In spite of this, I don't hesitate to recommend. Computer installed on was 5yo Win 98 system, and no compatibility problems encountered.

For the person who complained about not meeting performance claims, perhaps he was limited by a older 1.1 USB port .....

Also worth noting, a request for assistance on the TDK website was promptly responded to the same day.

Summary: Frustrated by Junk
Review: This machine will only frustrate you.

The instructions are poorly compiled and written. They do not link with the software and ..., you find that the machine cannot deliver on its advertised speed.

I would NEVER buy another thing from this manufacturer.
