I have just recently purchased a traxdata 8x4x32 and I can honestly say I have had a few failures which you would expect, but apart from that it is a great machine. I have burned both audio and data without a hitch, I put it down to the disks rather than the machine. You are better with discs that cost a few pence more as basically you get what you pay for.

I would recommend this is a first machine as I have, then once you get used to it and can master your burns, then it is time to go onto bigger and better ones.
