Looking for a cheap and cheerful CD burner 48x24x48x CD-RW, well look no further. I bought this just after Christmas to replace the one in my PC that had died. It took about ten minutes to fit and set up and about the same with the Nero bundled software and off you go it gives you a free black CD as well so you have everything you need.

I have copied around 100 cds and havent had any trouble with it so far, the write speed is currently the fastest you can get, for this price its a real snap. ...  Read the complete review
