Product Description
From Digital Living Today
Although the CD-RW drive is a welcome addition to anyone's family of peripherals, it often takes a long time to burn and re-burn a CD. Now those waiting times have been slashed by one of the leaders in the industry; Memorex is among the first to offer a 48x/12x/48x CD-RW Drive. This unit writes at 48x, rewrites at 12x and reads at 48x, allowing it to burn a CD in under two minutes on the clock. At such speeds, the whole use of the drive as a backup and regular storage device becomes much more practical. The unit comes with CD burning software, Nero 5.5 and InCD from Ahead Software, as well as one blank CD-R disk and one black CD-RW disk, plus a one-year warranty. At under a hundred dollars, the Memorex 48x/12x/48x is not only a bargain, but also a cutting-edge burner and player.

Nice Price, Speedy Burner,
By Miriam (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memorex 48x12x48x CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)
This is a nice price for a very speedy little CD burner. I installed it easily myself, but then I'm used to installing hardware.... Folks who never open the computer cover may prefer to have a friendly neighborhood nerd do it for them. Best features: speed and reliability. I am burning audio and data CDs with remarkable speed and so far have not had a single failure -- no "coasters" from CDs that wouldn't complete. No doubt the 2 MB data buffer makes a big difference in performance, minimizing buffer errors that often occur when burning CD-ROMs. Being able to consistently burn 80 minute audio CDs in about two minutes is quite remarkable. I'm neutral on the "Nero Burning ROM" software that comes with the burner. It has some nice drag-and-drop features, but the user interface needs help. Many options are buried deep in property menus. However, the software did enable us to get up and running quickly, so it's not bad for a freebie. The Nero CD Libary feature has a serious glitch -- by default it stores audio CD information in the root of the C:\ drive, which is not advisable. This can be modified though. All in all, an easy choice -- good price, good performance for the hardware. But you will may want to look for more sophisticated software for creating CDs and maintaining a CD library.

Great RW drive.,

This review is from: Memorex 48x12x48x CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)
I have had this drive for a couple weeks, and it kicks [...]! I have burned multiple CDs, and even more items for work. It's fast, and if you want a cheaper, slower one, try Memorex 40x12x40... same company, and same quality! I would definitely get this if I were you. :)

Unbelieveable,
By "granger11" (Fairfield, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memorex 48x12x48x CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)
Drive installed in minutes. Running:-Windows XP -ECS K7S5A motherboard -384MB DDR RAM -Athlon 1.2GHz Actually burned at 48x. Ripped/burned five 80min audio disks in 2 min, 20sec each, on average. Not a single pop, click or skip. Backed up some files at 12x to the CD-RW that came with it, and that was equally easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
