Creative CDRW 8432 - Why I returned mine

by Gr8ful Gr8ful is a Lead on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 04 '01
Pros: Makes audio CDs that play in any CD player, (using CD-R) and fast
Cons: Doesn't read subchannel data and will not write correctly in RAW mode
I bought one of these drives because I was looking to find a CDRW drive that could copy my copyright protected installation CDs for backup. I downloaded CloneCD, one of the best CD duplication programs out, and checked the readme file to find out which...

A Great deal!

by paramchuk , Feb 01 '01
Pros: Plug 'n' Play, Nero Burning Rom!
Cons: Somewhat Tricky at first
I purchsed this burner on a whim. I have always wanted to make my own mixed CD's like I used to with tapes, and when I saw this deal I could not pass it up.

The Creative CDRW 8432 has a CD-R write speed of 8x, cd-RW speed of 4x and a read...

Storage Gallore (and Music)

by KittyKat79 , Nov 14 '00
Pros: All the music you can dream of
Cons: Time taking
A few days ago I purchase Creative Labs CD-RW Blaster 8432. I have been wanting to purchase a CD-RW for a few months now. When I finally went looking I found this one to be a wonderful deal.

I paid only $139.99 for it at Best Buy. I also...

Oh, wow! This one was worth waiting for!

by bhammock , Nov 23 '00
Pros: fast, flexible and inexpensive
Cons: ambiguous directions, ugly looks
Well, I have been waiting for some time to get my hands on a CDRW drive so that I burn all of those songs that I download from Napster and make my own mix music cd's.

This drive was well worth the wait.

My biggest hesitation in...

BBBBBUUUUURRRRRNNNN That CD-RW!

by macenthe , Jan 25 '01
Pros: Good Brand, Speedy read and burning, very easy to use
Cons: Burning software included is average
There are those days when you just gotta burn... a CD that is! My trusty, but aging, Sony CD-R was fussing at me one day and then it decided it didn't like burning CD's. We argued for a while...

I said, "I need you to burn some mp3's for me,...

Creative's awesome CD-RW

by sparky506 , Dec 30 '00
Pros: great burner, software, easy to install, affordable
Cons: none
The Creative CD-RW Blaster 8432 is the best CD-RW drive on the market. It writes a CD-R at 8x, a CD-RW at 4x, and reads the CD at 32x. I have not had success reading the CD at 32x, but have had success reading at 16x. I also have not had success...

Pros: So easy to use I didn't need instructions!
Cons: None that come to mind.
I purchased this CD-RW last November and I am still very happy with it today. I don't believein evaluating a product in this forum until it is time tested. That is why I have waited so long to offer my epinion on it today.

Naturally, before...

The hardware is too good. For once that's a BAD thing.

by feger , Oct 11 '00
Pros: Fast unit, Good price
Cons: Too new, poor software bundle
Well, here's a sad story.

My uncle was looking to purchase a CD-RW for himself and for his daughter. After checking out various units, I settled on recommending the Creative Labs 8432. The price was VERY competitive ($129 from Amazon.com on...

An Overall Good Purchase

by blackstar12 , Sep 01 '01
Pros: Fast, Does It's Job, Plug N Play, Easy to Use
Cons: Color, Burn Failure
I guess you could say that I'm pretty into the whole computer thing. Just a few months ago, I bought my Creative 8432 used on Ebay Auctions. At only 70 bucks I figured it was a good deal considering it included Nero Burning ROM and Prassi abCD...

Wasted money

by ding-dong , Feb 24 '02
Pros: It is fast.
Cons: Only some of the 8432 works - and you can't tell which!
When I bought this one I thought I got the same type that I bought for my dad. It worked well, no real problems. So why can't I get mine to work? I mean - It looks identical and I don't buy the cheap CD's and I got four other writers that work well.

Support is as bad as the product.

by bte1390 , Feb 26 '03
Pros: Works until the warranty runs out
Cons: doesn't work with PNY, Fugi, Memorex, Imation, etc, CD-R's any more.
When I first got this burner, I loved it, it almost never messed up while burning, always was fast, and was reliable. I mainly used it to burn mixed CDs with Nero, but also burnt a few ISOs and data CDs. I never really paid attention to it while it...
