Philips PC Internal CDRW 400 Series

Pros: Slick Design and Beautiful Color.
Cons: Poor Customer Support and Below Average Quality.

I got this burner about 1 year ago and used for 4 or 5 times, then it doesn't work any more. The error message shows as "Burning Error due to Output Device". Then, I called their support and ask for help several times. They always blame my system is...

Pros: It works
Cons: Takes Forever For Those Little Lights To Stop Blinking

I bought mine back in August or September on UBid.com for $139. It was well worth the investment. It is very dependable, it always works, and I have made very few coasters, as I saw another user said his made. It is completely compatable with both 650...

Pros: make a cd in less than 10 minutes!
Cons: An internal drive requires opening up your pc and installing it.

Wow .... How nice to finally be able to write cds in half the time..

I originally owned a phillips exteranal cd writer. It was very dependable.. Just very slow.. The write speed was only 2x and it took anywhere from 30 minutes to a half an...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Poor Support, Poor Quality, Poor Company

I got a Philips 400 series CDRW for Christmas of 99. I make three coasters for every cd I burn. I have borrowed and used several other brands in computer with absolutely no problems. When I try to contact Philips for help I get not reply. There is no...

Pros: It looks damn cool!
Cons: Linux...not!

A year or so ago, I decided to step into the present and construct a new-fangled adding machine that wouldn't give me the dreaded blue screen of death every time I sneezed. It was also decided that this modern 20 pound paper-weight should have some sort...

Pros: Affordable and Easy to use
Cons: None, unless color counts

Phillips CDRW - 400 Series


I have read a lot of reviews on this Phillips product here at Epinions, some good and some bad. Personally, I have had no problems with mine other than a few errors on my own part, and feel it is an excellent...

Pros: I got my money back!
Cons: everything is a con with this drive!

I bought a Philips burner from Circuit City for about $250. I hooked it up and installed all the software (write2cd and packetcd) included with the drive. I tried to use my brand new drive but it would not work. I would get buffer under run errors when...

Pros: One of the buttons is shiny.
Cons: Everything about it.

Let me start out by saying this review is long overdo. I purchased this cd-rw a long time ago. Since them I have had no success with this product. When I purchased this cd-rw it cost me 280 dollars. Quite hefty , but at the time it was the fastest...

Pros: It worked 4 times
Cons: Didn't work 60 times

I bought this about a year ago in the hopes of being able to make backups of my playstation games. I don't konw much about computer hardware, but I didn't have much trouble installing it. Hardest part was trying to get all the wires back inside the...

Pros: Price, Data easily written
Cons: Loud, Never burnt a CD

I did alot of research before buying a CR-RW and decided this was my best bet from what I read and the price range I was looking for. Well, needless to say, this CD-RW gave me nothing but headaches. It was simple to install the drive itself. But then...

Pros: Philips makes horrible drives,
Cons: Thier drives are made by other companies and just relabeled.

You wont believe this story, 3 Repairs 2 Replacements and 1 upgrade this will be the longest review I have written, and if you review Philips please refer people to read this.. I want everyone to know the truth. It all started in 1996 with a CDD 2000...

Pros: Easy Installation, easy setup and use, good price.
Cons: Labeling software isn't the best

I've had my Phillips internal 400 series CD-RW installed for about three weeks now and I've had no problems with it. The installation was a breeze -- Windows 98 detected it and installed the right drivers, and I was off and running in something under 20...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Difficult to install, terrible support; weak documentation; poor software

I purchased the Philips CDRW 400 Series IDE internal drive for making audio CDs and as an alternative to getting a Zip or Jaz drive. I bought this product instead of a HP CD-Writer because it was cheaper and it received decent reviews. Boy do I regret it...

Pros: speed, software, affordability
Cons: none

This CD rewritable drive is absolutely AWESOME. I can't believe how cheap it was, too, as compared to other CD recordable, or CD rewritable drives. If you plan on burning some compact discs, this is the product to get.

I have had the CD-RW...

Pros: better then a zip drive
Cons: can be used to steal software

This is truly the best way to store portable information. It is the best for many convenient reasons. First, most computers have a cd drive but not all have a zip drive. Also, with a cd you can store six times the amount of information then you can on...
