5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing burner, February 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Plextor PX-W2410TU/SW External USB 2.0 24x10x40 CD-RW Drive (Personal Computers)

I bought this burner about a week ago and I've been extremely impressed with it. I've already burned about 20 flawless CD's (both audio & data).

First of all, Plextor is one of the top brands in CD burner technology. This model lives up to the name with solid construction and top quality. Secondly, the BURN-Proof technology ensures you don't get the dreaded "buffer underrun" problem that is so prevalent with other burners that are USB-based. I've created countless coasters with other burners I tried because of that problem.....a problem that is non-existent with this machine.

An important thing to note is that if you're running USB 1.1, you will only be able to burn at 4x speed (which is the max throughput capabilities of USB 1.1). So, you'll need an upgrade to USB 2.0 (either via a USB 2.0 interface card which you can buy separately or waiting for your OS vendor to release a USB 2.0 driver update) to enjoy the full benefits of 24x speed burns.

I can't say enough good things about this burner after experiencing the headaches with low-quality burners from other vendors...

I am writing this review 'cause I want to make sure others can also enjoy this wonderful product.

I bought this product two days ago and got everything working within 10 minutes, a true "Plug-and-play", I burned three CDs w/ different speed, first w/ 4X, then 12X, and then 24X. They all worked perfect!

Then I burned a few more CDs using 24X, and things just worked very well, I am very happy w/ this toy!

I want to thank to the guy who wrote his review earlier, and his good experience helped me make up my mind on buying this one, and I was a little bit nervous though, 'cause it was the only review there.

Now, another happy user, and hope this helps those who are still evaluating their buying choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational for novice, August 13, 2002

As one who is not particularly technically sophisticated, I have been amazed and delighted by this product. It is remarkably easy to use as is the software that comes with it. Every CD I have burned with it has been perfect. My primary use is to make CDs of my digital pictures and it has been so helpful in preserving space on my hard drive. I am using a Belkin USB2 adaptor card with an HP Omnibook notebook computer. I am a true novice but was up and running with the PlexWriter in just a few minutes and have had consistent good results.
