| Syntax's Full Review: Yamaha CRW8424SZ |
First off I own a small computer business. Talk about quality, this one is a great drive.. Speed!! Its amazing compared to my old 2x. And its so reliable I can't believe it.
I've gone through 6 Philips Drives, Those drives are simply horrible and on that note I will be reviewing them badly next... This drive on the other hand is awesome, I'm using it on Windows 2000 and its worked awesome. Average burn time on a CD is about 9 minutes. The lights on the front display several modes, Reading, Writing, Waiting, No Disk, the drive is highly compatible with software, I'm using it with 5 burner programs. It supports all the modes, handles multi-sessioning great, burns even on the Cheepest CD's at 6x, everything else burns at 8x perfectly.
I've burnt more cd's on this one drive than I did in the 4 years I had the other drives. This is a great buy. I bought mine drive alone, from pricewatch.com online. very cheep. I paid 239.00 for mine straight off the internet.
The only problem I had was installing it, SCSI settings have to be set just right, The speed of the device cant be more than 10mb a second, or it floods the drive and you get a CDrom that dosnt function, you get missing devices ect.. I called tech support which was TOP OF THE LINE, and they had me up and running in about 5 minutes..
