  • It's a bird...It's a plane...No, it's not Superman...

    Oct 19 '00
    Pros: Reeeeeeally fast, Sony name
    Cons: Premium price, inferior software included

    Summary: Recently, the internet startup company where I work decided to buy a few new machines. For whatever reason, they settled on a particular Dell model, each of which came with a Sony Spressa Professional CD-RW drive installed. Although at first many of ... read more

  • Good choice, if you get a good price.

    Pros: Fast, rebate available till 06/02/01.
    Cons: Software needs the downloadable update, a little picky about media.

    Summary: This is a review of the Sony CRX160EA1 12x8x32x internal IDE model. I had fallen behind making backups using my old ACER 2x2x6x (it took like 40 minutes for a complete CDR) and when my motherboard went nuts and screwed up my hard drive, I ... read more

  • Time to BURN!

    Feb 26 '01
    Pros: Extremely fast; Sony brand name; Dependable; Fast Firewire port
    Cons: Has a large foot print

    Summary: If you are like me and were dumb enough to buy a computer so small that you can't put an internal CD burner in, the CRX1600L-A2 is the best solution. I knew that I wanted a fast CD burner (no point in buying obsolete products) and it had to be an ... read more

  • Burn Baby Burn!

    Pros: Fast, Fast, Fast!
    Cons: None, yet.

    Summary: This is a Review of the Sony 12x8x32x CRX160E-A1 My third CDRW drive will probably be my last. I say this because this drive is PERFECT. Sony, which also supplies the CDRW hardware to produce HP CDRW drives had created a winner with this one. ... read more

  • Fast and incredibly easy to use!!

    Jan 09 '01
    Pros: fast, easy installation simple burning software
    Cons: none

    Summary: When CDRW's first came out I was exited about what they could do. I wanted one for copying CD ROMS. I love the idea that I can keep a copy of a music CD in my car and have the original safely stored at home. Also you can back up massive amounts of ... read more

  • Awsome drive!

    Dec 29 '00
    Pros: Speed, accuracy, noise
    Cons: Software, reading speed

    Summary: Well after putting off buying a cd re write drive for about six months now, I decided to finally purchase one. After looking around the local computer stores I found a Sony Spressa for a mere $150. Of course I jumped on it being that it was a brand ... read more

  • Spressa 10x/4x/32x CRX145E CDRW

    Dec 26 '00
    Pros: Excellent Performance; Features; Stability; Easy to Install & Use; Price
    Cons: 4x-RW speed

    Summary: I have used CD-RW drives for a long time. My old drive worked well, but it was too slow for my needs. For this reason, I decided to start looking for a fast burner. Several months ago I saw a CompUSA ad for the Sony Spressa Professional 10x4x32-speed ... read more

  • Excellent performance and great feature!

    Dec 23 '00
    Pros: performance, valuable software, features
    Cons: a little light on the documentation

    Summary: I purchased a Sony Spressa Professional CD-RW (8x4x32)on 2/15/2000 after reading about a million reviews on the major brands. This was the fastest CD-RW available at the time, and I got the SCSI model for the best performance. This was my first CD-RW, ... read more

  • A MUST for those with kids!

    Dec 12 '00
    Pros: Great for Backing up files and games
    Cons: A bit noisier than ordinary drives

    Summary: My husband and I decided to get a RW-Drive specifically for burning our larger files onto CD's to save up room on my desktop's hard drive. Specifically, large MS Excel and Access files, like financial budgets, inventory, etc. These files alone were ... read more

  • perfect for any type of user

    Nov 09 '00
    Pros: easy installation, great performance, excellent software
    Cons: a little pricey, terrible customer support

    Summary: This is only my second experience with a RW drive, and I must say, it is like night and day. I bought the 12x8x32 model, and after only a day and a half, I have backed up all my software, backed up anything of importance on a 20 GB hard drive that was ... read more

  • Definitely A CD-RW For Both the Novice and the Expert

    Oct 16 '00
    Pros: fairly inexpensive, fast, reliable
    Cons: Mac software doesn't burn mp3's on the fly

    Summary: Recently my office purchased a Sony Spressa 10x4x32. You might ask what that means, well, it's a CD-RW drive (cd recordable, rewriteable) which records at 10x, rewrites at 4x, and reads at 32x. Yes, it seems confusing, but stick with me through this ... read more
