4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant surprise for me., November 29, 2003
This review is from: Sony CRX 300A - Disk drive - CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo - 48x24x48x/16x - IDE - internal (Electronics)
I have always owned two CD-ROM drives, because I believe in redundancy and efficiency: two hard drives, spare floppy drives all over the workroom, and dual-CD setups since I can remember. So when I bought the Sony DRX-500 as my workhouse/ high-end burner, I was looking for an internal backup. I picked up one of these as part of a bundle, and what a nice surprise.

I got a bare drive, not a kit, so I didn't get a software bundle or screws or even an audio cable. This isn't a problem for me because I have spare parts for everything, but for anyone else, check to see that you're getting a complete kit if you expect it.

Drive hookup is normal, but performance was a real surprise. It keeps up with the more-expensive DRX-500, and although it cannot handle DVD burning duties, it handles nearly every other format and media without incident. You could easily make this your primary drive, and build a low-cost system with a quality part right here.
