5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product- It simply works, November 10, 2003

This review is from: Micro Solutions 52x24x52 External USB 2.0/Parallel CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)

I've tried dozens of CD-RW drives. This one is simply the best I've used. I wanted to get an external drive so that I could use it on all of my computers. I was worried about finding one that was affordable and thought I'd have to go with Iomega and all of the driver problems they usually have. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the backpack product was available and competitively priced. It's the same price as an Iomega drive at best buy and the Iomega one doesn't have the parallel port interface. Also, it's worth noting that Amazon had the lowest price for the backpack drive. I checked about 10 retailers.

Even better the software that's included will handle all of your CD writing needs. It's simple to use yet doesn't treat you like an idiot or give up function in favor of simplicity.

If you're going to buy a CD RW this is the one to buy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Makes CD fine but a lot of noise, April 11, 2004

I recently bought this product and had no problem installing the software and hardware. The drive read CD quietly. However, when I burn a CD through a USB 1.1. connection at 6x speed, the drive made noise like an accelarating engine. When I insert the CD into CD-ROM of other PC's, it gave similar noise. Does anyone have similar experience?
