Advantages: CDRW and DVD in one

Disadvantages: None

Building my new computer I had wanted a CDRW and a DVD drive, then I spotted this. What an excellent product for £145.

OK it only burns CDs at 4X but this really isn't that bad (Only about 15 minutes for a full CD) I have personally burned over 200 CDs using it and not 1 has finished with errors (Using Kodak silver and gold discs and Memorex Black 80 Min Discs).

The DVD side is also very good giving smooth playback although it has a nasty habbit of crashing the computer if you fast forward through a DVD (Using WinDVD as supplied with the drive).

Overall though an excellent alternative to 2 drives.

Spec of computer this drive is installed on for anyone interested is...

Athlon 1000Mhz
256Mb Ram
Voodoo 3 3000 AGP
Soundblaster AWE 64
2 IBM Hard Drives (30Gb and 45Gb)
