I bought a smart and friendly CD-RW, which is SpeedWriter 32(4x4x32). I believe I got the one I want. The disks that I burned till now (about 2 months), no matter cd-r or cd-rw, are all very good. No single cd I burned was failed. The software that...

This is the nicest cd burner I have ever had. I first bought a CD-r drive when they came out. It was a really slow single speed one. Later when the CD-RWs came out, I bought a 2x/2x/4x. Eventually, I found this Smart & Friendly CD Writer at...

Hello, From the first day I bought this item I knew it was going to be great. I had an 8x cdrw by HP it was great but a little too slow. It took about 15 mins a CDR. With this great piece of machine, it takes about 3 mins. Now that is an gargantuous...

Pros: high speed technology
Cons: some cdr programs don't support it.

My first cd writer was a Smart and Friendly 4006. that just writes at 4X and reads at 6X. it was one of the fastest writers on the market. I had no trouble with it at all. so I told my brothers, and I got them cdr's just like mine, constantly...

WOW! One of the most productive and best purchases I have made towards my computer. I opened the compusa ad and saw 199.99 for this product. I felt that it must have been a mistake, so I made a trip down to there to purchase one. I found out that the...

Pros: Super fast, good software bundle
Cons: Expensive

This CD-RW is quite expensive (upwards of $300) but if you have the money it is definetly worth it. It is 6x4x24. The best part is the speed. You can burn an entire 650 megabytes in only a little over 10 minutes. The difference between a 6x and a 4x...

We bought the Smart and Friendly CD-R 4012 in '99 right after they came out. The price at that time was $539 it has come down in price quite a bit but that doesn't take away from the product.

I love this! My husband has a nasty habit of...
