Philips PC Internal CDRW 400 Series

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: Go on, start doing it, it's easy.
Cons: Not much for those who love the manuals

I bought my PHILIPS CDRW Series 400 in January 2000. My model is PCRW 404K, internal. It can read at a maximum 32x, and write or rewrite at 4x.
This model wasn't too expensive, by that time, and now it should be an even better deal. I've had no...

Pros: Easy installation, Writes CDs quick, Very few errors when using other CD writing software
Cons: Software that comes with the drive is not that good at all

After having a 2X CD-RW drive, I wanted to move into the realm of a 4X CD-RW, and came upon the Philips 404K. This drive is a 4X write, 4X re-write, and 32X read. This means that you will be creating full CDs in about 20 minutes or so and copying from...

Pros: Fast and good software
Cons: Takes a little getting used to

Everyone is saying that this CD-RW is not good at all. I don't see where they are coming from. They say that is gives you headaches, and that the software is not good at all. I am totally against that. I recently purchased this CD-RW, and I...

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: 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: 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:

External USB Interface
2MB Buffer
4x Write
4x ReWrite


CONS:

External USB Interface is not a part of the drive but rather a part of the 'USB' cable. As I recall the USB cable is supposed to...

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: 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: The look, the speed, and it's functions
Cons: none

Just take a look at Philip's Internal Cd-ReWritable 400 Series, PCRW404K, just look at the color, the style, aren't you just in love with it already? not even mention the functions. with 4x write, 4x rewrite, and 32x read, the speed that is fast...

The Phillips CD-RW400 is nothing short of genius. It is the most reliable and fastest CD Writers on the market. Not to mention, the Phillips company is known for it's outstanding reputation with its unbeatable products. I have owned the...

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: Nice Speed, and Price
Cons: nOne

I bought a Phillips Burner a year ago and I still use it today im very happy that I bought it. Its an internal model ran me about 300 bucks. I can burn full 650 min cds in about 20 mins which is not that bad. The quality of the music cds are great I...

Pros: Good hardware
Cons: horrible software package

The philips cd burner is a good piece of hardware. However, the software that comes with it is absolute drivel. I wasted at least 7 cd's because the stupid software kept freezing up. In addition, it is incredibly complicated and the lack of a manual...
