Product Description

From Digital Living Today

If you want to buy a high-performance CD-RW drive at a reasonable price, and you're willing sacrifice a big-name brand as long as you don't have to sacrifice quality, consider the Retail Plus 24x10x40 from Pine Technologies. Boasting a 40x read speed, 24x write speed, 10x rewrite speed, as well as a 2MB buffer, the Retail Plus can fill up a 650MB CD in a fast four minutes. Not only is it speedy, but the Retail Plus supports some of the the latest features in disc-burning technology. "Track at once," for instance, allows you to record one track per session, rather than needing to burn the entire disc at once. "Disc at once," "packet," and "multi-session" writing methods are other protocols and technologies supported by this versatile drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars great buy, November 17, 2001

You can"t go wrong with this burner at this price. It was easy to set up and the burning software that came with it is excellent. You get a free update for the nero software from 4.0 to 5.5 and it is windows xp compatible. Had trouble with roxio cd burning software in xp and nero has got me back burning and ripping cd's at amazing speeds. Faceplate color is cream. Well worth the price

I had a terrible time getting this to work on my Windows2000 computer. I had an old 2x CDRW with Adaptec DirectCD installed. After uninstalling Adaptec (as required to use Nero), and then reinstalling Nero, Windows2000 could no longer read
any CD-ROM or CD-RW devices any more due to a ASPI layer problem. I checked USENET newgroups and found that tons of people have this problem. So as a reminder, Windows2000and Adaptec DirectCD are NOT supported by this drive.
I have to reinstall Windows2000 again to get my CD-ROM to work again. In a word, "LOT'S OF PAIN". The support from their website (...) is a joke to say the least.
