Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For making backups or your own compilation CDs, look no further than Pacific Digital's 241040ei CD-RW drive. Featuring fast, 24x writing to CD-R media, it can create a 700 MB disc in just over three minutes. Use CD-RW media to create daily backups: simply record, erase, then record again.

Pacific Digital uses an automatic speed control that selects the best recording speed for the current disk's capability and recording conditions. Combining this, a 2 MB buffer memory, CAV writing support, and powerful recording software, buffer underruns and unusable CD "coasters" become a thing of the past.

Pacific Digital covers this drive with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

I just received this burner from Amazon.com and installed it just a few days ago. Since there are no reviews from other customers let me be the first to tell you about this burner.
The burner itself is very nice, and easy to install. I am not very computer literate, but I got it in no problem. Just do not depend on this so called manuel they have with the product, because it doesn't give you much to go on. Although, the company does give you a website to go and download the manuel.
After I got the burner into my tower, I installed the software called "NTI CD-Maker," it was easy to install, but there is a glich with the one that they give you. When I went to drag and drop mp3's into the box for burning, it kept coming up with an illegal operation message, but that is easy to fix. Just go to the company's site and upgrade your version with no problem, they will even send you a new CD if you request. The software is very easy to use from what I have discovered so far, of course I haven't burned to much yet. The burner burns really fast, and I am all around happy with this product.
It has a good price for the quality, plus you can get a one year warranty on parts, one year of technical support, etc...when you fill out the form and send it in. This product was also consider the best buy by PC World. So have fun with it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid CD burner, November 21, 2002

I have used the CD burner for 6 months and it has worked great. I recommend getting Nero Burning ROM 5.5 over using the burning software packaged with the CD drive. Nero is the best burning software out there - better than Roxio Easy CD creater, which created worthless coasters about 15% of the time. With Nero I create coasters about 2% of the time.

The CD burner installed easily. A friend of mine told me that about half of the CD burners sold under the Pacific Digital band name are actually LiteOn manufactured burners - which is the best brand out there for CD and DVD computer drives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Deal For First CD Burner, December 31, 2002

I just received this and it was up and running in 30 minutes. I have a Dell and it had all of the needed cables ready to go. This is the first time I have attempted to install any hardware myself. I did it in less than 30 minutes and all works great. I burned my first CD and was playing it in 10 minutes after installing the software. Trust me, I am no computer geek and this was a breeze. I just hope it last as long as it was easy to install and use. So far, I'm impressed with both the burner and I have to admit Dell made it easy too!!! Everything was right there waiting for me to just plug it in.
