  • The CD-ROM so fast it can't keep up with itself!

    Feb 25 '01
    Pros: It didn't deteriorate in my hands
    Cons: Just about everything

    Summary: This review was one I wrote a while back for a hardware site I was going to create but, soon found that I didn't have the time for and it was never released to the public. But, I figured I'd still let the public know about this specific drive; and ... read more

  • Memorex is OUT! NO More For Me!

    Aug 23 '01
    Pros: Price was OK.
    Cons: Just about everything!

    Summary: I have now owned 4 Memorex CD-Rom drives of various speeds. We have 3 desktop computers which I built and currently have these drives in them. The only reason I haven't replaced them at this time is that I can't afford to replace them and at least they ... read more

  • I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and I will find a drive that works!

    Feb 26 '01
    Pros: cheap
    Cons: read for the low-down

    Summary: I've owned several Memorex CD-ROM drives, and have had bad luck with all of them. At first I attributed it to poor care on my part, but after having an Acer drive for almost a year, I realized it wasn't me. My 16X drive made terrible noises, I ... read more

  • Get a different drive!

    Dec 28 '00
    Pros: Fast read, quiet tray, will read most formats
    Cons: NOISY, slow access and high price

    Summary: Not to many people just go out and buy a fast CD-ROM because they want to upgrade there computer. My old 36X died and I needed a new drive. Wanting to stay away from no name drives that sound like an old ford diesel I decided to go with a mid range ... read more

  • My Experience = Avoid Memorex Drives

    Dec 28 '00
    Pros: Great Price
    Cons: Lousy Performance

    Summary: I purchased a Memorex CD-ROM drive shortly after they entered the computer peripherals market. It was a 32X drive, and the price at that time was unbelievable. I think with the rebate offered that I paid something like $20 dollars total. As it turned ... read more

  • You can't go wrong with this drive!

    Sep 11 '00
    Pros: Price, reliability, ease of install.
    Cons: Lack of good documentation, Speed not as promised.

    Summary: Memorex is known in the computer industry as having average products at best. Several of their products stand out and their CD-ROM drives are definitely one of them. Building many machines for myself as well as friends, I am always looking for ... read more

    Jul 11 '00
    Pros: Quick and quiet! Easy install!
    Cons: None

    Summary: Okay I know that everyone else here has been bashing this product. I will go against the masses and tell you my good experiences with Memorex. I've bought Memorex CDRs for about a year now and have been very pleased with the quality. So I decided to add ... read more

  • Decent Product, Decent Price

    Mar 19 '00
    Pros: Cheap, easy installation
    Cons: noisy

    Summary: I bought my Memorex 40X CDROM about three months ago and have not had any problems so far. The reason I bought the Memorex is because I needed to replace my old CDROM that finally quit working. I choose the Memorex strictly on price. I figured it ... read more

  • Memorex sucks

    Jan 19 '00
    Pros: quiet, autostart
    Cons: breaks down within a year

    Summary: A little over a year ago, someone had the bright idea to tell my then 5 year old nephew to close the CD drive. Guess what he hit it, resulting in the misalignment of the tray and the gears. This drive was a Mitsumi, which worked great the entire time ... read more

  • Memorex 48X CD-ROM Drive

    Dec 21 '99
    Pros: Quiet operation, Fast speed
    Cons: Short Life

    Summary: I was very happy when I first purchased the Memorex 48X CD-ROM. The price was very reasonable for the speed. The drive motor is very quiet and I can't complain about the speed. When a CD was inserted it was up on the screen in auto-run in ... read more

    Pros: cheap

    Summary: Try to avoid Memorex products, I bought 36x Memorex CD_ROM drive and replaced my good old Mitsumi. On the second day after the installation it stopped working. Memorex customer service people were qualified and friendly. I brought it back to the ... read more
