Artec RW

Pros: great quality for price
Cons: slow compared to what is out now

I bought this CDRW four months ago now and have not had a problem with since I got it. It is great to have for backing up data and for creating custom audio cd's. I have been able to free up a lot of space on my hard drive by moving all of the files that...

Pros: A drive that performs as advertised and quality you can afford
Cons: You have to cringe a little when you buy from a company you don't know will be there.

I bought this drive back in November.. I think back and say to myself Artec? But I guess I finally wanted into CD-RW. I wanted it at 4x, and I wanted it at a good price. 160$ which is still what it's going for was a steal back in November.

...

Pros: Relatively fast, reliable, and easy to use.
Cons: Virtually no tech support.

I bought the Artec 8/4/32 speed drive about a month ago, right after I received a bill in the mail from BMG for some CDs that I had bought. I was incensed at the cost and decided not to pay anymore for music. The obvious solution was to purchase a CDRW...

Pros: It dosen't burn coasters.
Cons: The shipping software and cables are poor quality.

Long, long ago,….. In a computer store just down the street,……… (Ok, so, I just happen to work there). I found myself going through the week’s shipment. In the bottom of the box was a lonely CD-RW. It looked kind of plain in its blue and red box and the...

Pros: Works fine.
Cons: Who knows about reliability yet. Not the best burner out there.

Most people will shun this drive based on the brand name... ARTEC. What the hell kind of a name is that for a hardware maker? They should have called their company Whoopass or Destroyer. And then gave the drive a name like "the Hellburner" or...

Pros: The price is great- very cheap!
Cons: Not sure how durable it really is.

I bought this Artec CD-RW wanting to upgrade my computer by installing a second CD drive (this time a writer) but having a limited budget. This model was recommended by my supplier with a matching Nero software at an incredibly low price and better...

Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Did not work.

I have an Artec scanner that I would recommend to anyone, so I bought an Artec DVD-ROM that is also very good. When I found the Artec CD-Writer 24x-10x-40x I didn't hesitate to buy one.
The drive installed easy and had the clean OEM look that I...

Pros: None
Cons: RW Doesn't work. Very expensive to buy to use only as a CD-ROM

I bought a Artec CD-RW Model 226 in Feb. 1999. However, I used it as a second cd-rom. I never tried the CD-RW capabilities of the drive until 2 weeks ago. I know I should have tried it before. I talked to their tech support and after two weeks of...

Pros: only $8 to return to company via USPS
Cons: had to return to company 3 times

I bought an Artec CDRW 2x2x6 in Nov of 1998. It worked fine for about 4 months then started dealing me a bunch of coasters (or next years Christmas tree ornaments). I contacted the company and sent it back to them for repairs, re-installed it, and it...
