TDK veloCD ReWriter 12/10/32

Pros: Priced right, BurnProof design, easy to install.
Cons: Nero software not the easiest to interpret

When I purchased my PC, CD-RWs weren't widely available and were pretty pricey, but after a couple of years, I decided I needed a decent bulk storage solution and also wanted a tool to make custom-burned CDs for listening to music. My father had...

Pros: Inexpensive, Reliable, 10x RW, and burn proof. Software is easy
Cons: 12x isnt quite the fastest out there any more.

This is the most reliable/stable cd burner I have ever used. Had it for around a year and a half now, Never burned a coaster, and I burn A LOT of cds. I own quite a few writers and this is by far my favorite. 12x recording isn't really very high end...

Pros: Decent speed, good buffer underrun protection
Cons: Wacky drivers cause problems with Win2k

Most of the reviews here have done a good job of giving an overview of this CD burner, so I won't retread that territory. Instead, I want to call attention to a problem I encountered using this burner on a Windows 2000 system.

We bought this...

Pros: Speed, Price, Multi Recorder Support
Cons: Needs software update out-of-the-box, Nero not user-friendly

Today I bought two VeloCD 24x burners. Why? The box said you could install two and burn both simultaneously!

I had to remove my DVD drive to free up the ide cable, but this shouldn't be the case for everyone.

I couldn't get them...

Pros: 24X10X40 with 40X rip speed - cool coloring - great functionality
Cons: not impressed with NERO 5.5

All right I will start this off by saying that I have been away from epinions for a long time now and have just decided to return to the scene. With that I will go on with the intentions of this review. Although this section is dedicated to the 12 X 10 X...

Pros: Blazing fast speed
Cons: Problems with the CD-RW formatting software

I guess it's just good old brotherly competition. My brother had purchased a computer with a CD-RW drive so that he could store files and create music CD's. His burner speed had a write speed of 4x and a rewrite speed of 2x, with a write speed of...

Pros: Speed, Price
Cons: Manual

I have a budget under 100 for a CDRW.
So I searched for a deal and found sony spressa 32/8/4
It is 70 after rebate(buy.com). And was reviewed good here.
At the same time, I saw VeloCD 32/12/10 (130 after rebate).
and it was reviewed...

Pros: Great price
Cons: Nero is kind of quirky

I just got this burner at CompUSA for $129 with a $50 rebate. That means this drive was only $79!!
I had an aging HP 4x burner that didn't give me any trouble but it was quite slow. This TDK rips music at around 20x (not quite their 32x claim but...

Pros: Extremely fast and never had "bad" burn.
Cons: Trouble with TDK's "mixing" software.

I have burned approximately 200 data/audio CD's since purchasing this VeloCD CD burner almost a year ago. I have never made a "CD coaster" for it has a feature called "Burn-proof". I have been extremely pleased with it for I have friends that bought...

Pros: BurnProof, Nero 5.0 bundled,
Cons: None yet, will update.

Well honestly the only reason I bought this burners is because Buy.com had it on as the special of the day. I obtained my very own 12X/10X/32X for a low low cost of only $120. Honestly, where can you beat that price? I've been waiting for a decent 12X...

Pros: Copy a CD in under 10 min., Very Reliable, Good Software, Reputable Company
Cons: Nero is not the most user friendly software I've seen

I got my burner earlier this year and I have been in love with it ever since. I did quite a bit of research on them, and found this was the one for me. Many companies use cheap components in their burners and TDK doesn't. I also heard that TDK uses...

Pros: Fast, reliable, Burn proof technology, handles every situation
Cons: No audio cable provided with drive, bundled software good but could be easier

I purchased the TDK Velo CD 12x/10x/32x about a month ago after doing extensive research on CD-RWs. In my research I considered Sony, HP, and Plextor. I recommend you check out www.cdrfaq.org for a tremendous amount of information on CD-RWs.

...

Pros: Very Fast, Efficient, Stylish
Cons: cannot erase .wav files from a cd, other than that, none

The TDK Velo 12/10/32 CD-RW Drive is a CD Rewriter that will amaze you forever. I have never owned a cd rewrited until this year. I have read reviews abuot other rewriters and have generally ready that it takes an average of half an hour to write a cd. I...

Pros: Cost is good.
Cons: Dosen't work, POOR Tech Support.

What a waste. I have the HP CD Writer 8300i 12/8/32 and wanted to upgrade to the Velo 16/10/40. I read all the great reviews on it and bought it today. I have a 1 ghz PC with all the options. I removed my HP and installed the TDK. Didn't work. All...

Pros: 12x burning (with burn-proof), Mac and PC compatible, good PC burning software
Cons: No Mac burning software included, slower than 12x burning on PC

I purchased a TDK VeloCD for use with a Macintosh G4 tower ("Sawtooth" model). I chose the VeloCD because it was an affordably priced (with a $50 rebate at the time of purchase) 12x "burn proof" burner. The mechanism used in this drive is almost...
