Brilliant
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Dec 1, 2001An excellent CDRW. Very easy to install (although I would have liked an IDE cable to have been included !) which meant I was burning my own CD's with 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

Everything you need?
(4 out of 5) by John on Dec 30, 2001 (Caerdydd, Cymru, UK)The Amazon blurb promises everything you need to get started. True if you are replacing an old CD drive. If you are adding this one, or haven't got one yet (unlikely) you'll need an additional IDE cable.
Shame about the claim because everything else is great!

Dirve >OK----- Delivery >Out of this world
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 6, 2002When I orderd the drive it was 'Out of stock' and was told to expect a delivery date within 1 to 2 weeks, it arrived within 2 days. Approx half an hour to install hardware and software without a single blip in the proceedings (which for me is a minor miricle). The only gripe is that one (out of about 20) of the CD-RW's I had created on my old re-writer can't be read, oh yeah and where is the IDE connector cable? This drive knocks spots off of what I had before.

Fantastic! Does work on XP too.
(5 out of 5) by Mike on Jan 5, 2002 (Suffolk, UK)This is a fantastic piece of kit. It arrived today and i had it installed in no time. Fair enough there's no IDE cable but you shoudn't need one if you can read the instructions. And it does work on Win XP! It comes with Roxio CD Creator 5.0 so you have to go to Roxio.com for a free upgrade otherwise the software wont work. But after you've done this the sky's your limit!
I just wrote a 637mb CD in 3 minutes 11 seconds! ~~Need i say more?~~

CD-RW disks only readable by the computer that created them
(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Mar 26, 2002I agree - it's fast; it's easy to install; it's wonderful unless......
If you think you will be able to move data from PC to PC on a CD-RW disk - think again!!
The Memorex Help Line told me that if I want to read a CD-RW disk on another computer I should leave it unformatted!!!!
