I?ve owned the Yamaha drive for about a year now and its been faultless. I bought it because of the price and specification, not the brand. I?ve never had a Yamaha computer product before and have been pleased at the quality, reliability and speed of the component. The drive is a 16x write, 10x re-write and 40x read CD-RW drive. Unlike some higher speed drives, it will reliably write at 16x for the majority of the burn cycle. As the other reviewer notes, the drive is a little on the noisy side.

This is Yamaha's IDE 16 times write, 10 times rewrite, and 40 speed read drive. It also does DAE (extracting audio tracks off CDs) at 40 speed. It doesn't have BURN proof technology, but it has an 8MB buffer, and some fancy gizmos to make it more reliable. I have an Athlon 700 with an IBM ATA 100 drive, and 256MB RAM so I can't vouch that it works as well on lower spec machines, but. . This drive is fast, even on Fuji 8 speed media it burns a full CD in just under 5 minutes. In the box you get Adaptec Easy CD Writer Version 4, 1 16X rated CDR, and one high speed CDRW.
