My current CD-RW recently crapped out on me and stopped acknowledging that there was a disc in their,, CD-R or CD-RW. I have been looking at four of them but if theres something else I should consider let me know.
Yamaha CRW 2200EZ ,Yamaha CRW-F1 44X/24X/44X ,TDK VeloCD 40X/12X/48X EIDE
It doesn't have to be blazing fast either anyting would be better than what I have now.
Don't get the Yamaha. Look for a Lite-on or LG.
ummm well lite on is good..... plextor is better...
plextor, lite on, asus, tdk isnt that bad
i know that Samsung is good B)
Help? Dude, they are all the same and can be purchased for less $40 new. Besides, they are slowly being phased out of the market in place of DVD burners. Just pick one by a name brand company and you'll be fine. ;)
You can find a review of all kinds of CD-RWs at this website: http://www.cdrlabs.com/

lite on is basically plex, but cheaper.
you can get a 48 12 48 lite on for like £50, and can't go wrong, though if you're not in a hurry id look around for a DVD-RW, but look around cos theres all the different types, +- and that....there's a sony one which does all the tyoes, and isn't too expensive, and the disks do work out cheap relative to buying HDD's
Go for Sony, theirs seem to be okay.
I think I saw one of theirs which was 52x24x52 Not too shabby :lol:
I like Sony, all in one burner, dvd rw, dvd r, cd rw cd r. Dun know how long it will last me, but wth, I'll give it a go and judge later.
i agree with the above
samsung
Lite-On, good reliable quality. No need for a top name, that's what you pay for the name. Satisfied since day 1 with all my Lite-on buys I 've used, using, passed on, etc.............
I burned out a Lite-On
I worn out a Samsung
I had an "unlisted" Creative Labs 8x that only works at 4x
-------
Now I have a PLEXTOR 40x CDRW and it is the best.
You can't get wrong with Plextor.
It's a little expensive though.
The second option would be Lite-on.
Cheap, reliable, supports most of the features (overburning, subchannel reading, ..... blah blah, .....)
But if it's true that Lite-on is actually Plextor, then don't hesitate, get a Lite-on burner.
;)
(I still have Plextor PlexWriter 16x/12x/40x, works great.)

lite on >> very good :P <-- well thatz my cdrw

Go with any burner made by Verbatim. They make excellent burners that are good quality and are lightning fast.
I have the 52x24x52x and it works wonderfully.
hey anyone have any sites for some lite on cdrw drive mines starting to give out and was hopeing i could find one for about 40 or less :D
I just ordered a new Lite On from NewEgg $53 shipped......
Get a lite-on 48x or 52x these are the only burners that will clone the new protection code from hexalock
using blindwrite or Alcohol 120%.
