Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

If you're creating multimedia applications, interactive training materials, a dynamic demonstration, or action game, there's only one practical way to publish and distribute them to others--on CD. Make your presentations come alive with the coolest sounds and hottest graphics, then put them in a format that almost anyone can use. Unlike tape, CD-R or CD-RW backups provide random-access retrieval for fast restoration of data to your hard drive. Backing up to a CD is fast and easy--just select the files or directories you want to back up, then click a single button. Since all file attributes (read-only, archive, hidden, and system) are maintained, file restoration is simple and easy. Or you can create your own "greatest hits" albums from cassettes, records, and CDs. Just compile all your favorite tracks to listen to in your car or at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect RW Drive!, October 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Research DRCDRW4424 4x4x24 Internal CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)
What can I say? It's affordable, it can write(or rewrite) a whole CD in under 20 minutes, and it's internal, so you don't have to worry about cords getting tangled. It's perfect for backing up your hard drive. CD capacities are usually 500 MB, and I don't know about you, but at my local Best Buy, I can get 50 blank CDs for $40, which is less than a dollar per CD, MUCH cheaper than ZIP disks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, December 13, 1999
By 
"tabitha_sj" (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Digital Research DRCDRW4424 4x4x24 Internal CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)
After installation, it worked first time(!), the BIOS and Win98 detected it with no problem, and the supplied software configured itself to the drive.

The software, Nero, is very intuitive and easy to use, making burning any kind of CD (audio, data, mixed mode, video, etc) quite simple. The online help is great, and it comes with a 127 page manual on the disc.

I've burned a number of CDs so far - some straight CD copies (audio only, data only, one mixed audio and data), and also compiled my own music CD. The music CDs work fine in the home audio equipment and car stereos I've tried them in. I'm impressed by the speed and flexibility of the drive and the software, and you can't beat the price.

All in all, a great deal. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Burner, December 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Research DRCDRW4424 4x4x24 Internal CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)
The burner is very fast and very cheap. Still havent had a problem with it. Great for burning audio CDS. Excellent sound quality. No complaints here. Price is outstanding. Go to your local computer store and see if you can get a better price for a 4X drive. This price is probably the best ive found for a CD-R.
