TDK veloCD ReWriter 12/10/32

Pros: 12X Write Speed. CD-Text Support. 10X ReWrite Speed. 32X DAE. Nero Burning Rom.
Cons: None.

My old 4x Smart and Friendly burner (see my Epinion of it) was just getting old. 20 minutes now seemed like an eternity to burn a CD. I had 100 CDs stolen out of my Jeep and I needed to replace them. I needed something faster....

Enter the TDK...

Pros: FAST, Burn-proof technology, 12x10x32 + 24x Rip Speed!
Cons: TDK's software interface is confusing

This is the best E-IDE CD-RW out there right now (next to plextor). This cdrw is fast and does everything the box says. Writes at 12X with 100% error free burning EVERYTIME. I think anyone who's looking to buy a descent cd-rw drive, they should consider...

Pros: Burnproof technology, cheaper price, easy installation.
Cons: CDRW formatting takes too long, Musicmatch Jukebox is only a freeware.

I got this Porsche to replace my Hundai, HP8100i 4x2x16x. I picked TDK veloCD not only because of its speed, but also of the BurnProof technology which is the most important. Now with this technology I can run multitask on my PC while burning CDs without...

Pros: Fast, reliable, trouble-free operation. Great Nero software
Cons: TDK Digital MixMaster software

I bought this drive after considerable research and couldn't be happier with my decision.

Setup and installation was a breeze and there is a video for people who aren't familiar with installing drives (I didn't view the video, so I'm not sure...

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...

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: awesome
Cons: none that I have

I have to say that tdk has done it again. My first burner was the tdk 8x 4x 32x with no problems what so ever. Now, Tdk has just come out with a faster product. I just had to get it. Tdk products are well built. For starters, I've noticed that...

Pros: fast! easy! no coasters can theoretically be made
Cons: more expensive than the plextor 12/10/32

Let me start off by saying that there is no ugly side to this device. I have two burners. The TDK velocd and the Plextor 12/10/32 CDWriter are on par despite what some people say. Apparently the Plextor writer is suppose to be the BEST burner though I...

Pros: Comes with a Lot of Software, Made by the company that creates the BEST CD-R's
Cons: Expensive, not the fastest out

I tried the ACER CRW8432A drive and it didn't work reliably (always an error or coaster). I tried the HP 9150i CD-RW drive and it claimed that all my new blank discs were dirty, scratched and had finger prints on them. Please read my reviews on other...

Pros: Fast and flawless CD output
Cons: Limited third-party software support

When I went looking for a CDRW to replace my Pacific Data 8x4x2, I tried out several newer drives. That included Acer, HP, and I/O Magic. All were either 8x4x32 or 10x4x32. All worked OK but never seemed to writer faster than my my old 4x machine....

Pros: fast, burn-proof technology
Cons: pretty expensive

TDK's veloCD CDRW drives have a great reputation, but 8x writing is getting slow these days. Solution: veloCD 12x/10x/32x! This drive is fast! Compared to an 8x drive, this thing blazes. Write a full CDR in well under 10 minutes.

This thing...

Pros: Reliability, burn speed
Cons: Tray is slow, TDK software is an accident waiting to happen

I was determined to stop swapping discs in my car to change song genres. I had gigabytes of MP3's spread about, and I wanted a "Pre-Workout" CD, a tailgating CD, etc. A friend had purchased this and didn't complain, so I bought the VeloCD...

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: Good performance, reasonable price, upgradeable firmware.
Cons: Frequent problems reading CD-RWs, software package not solid

I'm very disappointed with my TDK CD writer and almost buying a different brand.
Although the performance is good, the unit nice looking and the software bundle makes a good first impression, I have discovered that this unit is unable to...

Pros: Very fast , easy to set up, with BurnProof Technology.
Cons: Expensive

I'm writing this Epinions not for the GearHeads ( because I would quickly be exposed as a fraud..eh! eh! eh! ) I'm just your average Joe when it comes to tech stuff; what little I know about computers and related items comes from surfing the Web for...
