4.0 out of 5 stars good drive., October 22, 1999

This review is from: Acer 6206A CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)

you know, despite what others say, this is a good little drive. I have had a 99% success rate with CD's on this thing. And for a 2X writer, it is pretty damn fast...I wouldn't play a game off of it, but still its fast. It may not be the best, but it is far from the worst.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, September 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Acer 6206A CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)

I brought mine in January and have only been able to burn a total of six CD's. My CDRW has ruined over 20 CD's. The technecial support people are of no help. Acer sent me a new CDRW and I"m still having the same problems. It will write once in a blue moon, it locks up my system, It will test fine but when you go to do the real deal it just sits there or it will do half the disk and freeze up your system. I recommend that you do not buy this rewriter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value, October 13, 1999

Installation was a breeze, I set it as a slave on IDE channel 2 with my CDROM as master. A little slow, and I wouldn't have bought it without the rebate. The Adaptec CD Creator software is a bit twitchy, you should disable Auto Insert Notification on your CDROM to eliminate possible problems. Overall, it's a great value for an entry level CD-RW unit, but I'll buy a faster unit in a little while.
