Amazon.com Product Description

Sony's Spressa CRX140E/CH2 32x8x4x internal IDE CD-RW drive stores up to 650 MB of critical data quickly and safely on CD-R and CD-RW discs. Working at speeds up to 32x read, 8x write, and 4x rewrite, the drive has quick disc-access times of 150 milliseconds and data transfer rates up to 4,800 Kbps. Utilizing a 4 MB buffer, the drive is capable of disc-at-once, track-at-once, multisession, and packet writing methods.

The drive uses an enhanced IDE (ATAPI) interface and is compatible with PCs only. It comes with Sony's CD Extreme software for recording audio CDs, data CD-ROMs, and CD-to-CD copies and Sony's abCD software for formatting a CD-RW disc for use like a floppy, letting you "drag and drop" files and folders from the drive letter icon to the CD for storage. To erase files and folders, just drag their icons from the CD-RW to the Recycle Bin.

With accessories and an optional upgrade to Sony's flagship CD Complete Pro software for creating your own music, the 32x8x4x internal drive comes with a one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent CD-R for the money.!, January 5, 2001

I just purchased this Sony CD-R for my Dell system. Easy Installation, Fast and easy to use for burning. I have copied and burned many MP3's, music CD's and software with no problems. Software is stripped down, but does the job. I'm not sure how much more software you would need to burn CD's. Just a note..... 95% of the problems are caused from the person behind the keyboard.

I have had my Sony Spressa CD-RW for about 6 months now, and it is one of the best investments I have ever made. I build computers, but this is one of the easiest installs I have ever experienced. You are literally up and running 10 minutes after you rip open the box! (depending on the make of your computer of course.) It runs quietly, and is accompanied by a very user-friendly software package for all your cd burning needs. I have had absolutely no errors, and all my CDs end up with a professional-like result. I wish that I had the chance to purchase it at the price it is at now, but I feel it was worth every penny! I love this drive so much, I pushed my brother and co-worker to buy one as well, and I installed it for them, (in minutes!) and they love theirs as well. Especially at the price it is being offered at now, I emplore you to buy this drive if you are in the market for one. It is worth it, and I am confident that you won't regret it. I have owned Adaptec and HP CD-RW drives that can't touch this one in reliability and quality! YOU WILL LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!

I received this CD-RW in my New Dell 4100 on Monday, It has incrediable speed when it writes CD's and when you play them. I havent had any bad burns yet. I would reccomend this to anyone who would like the Excellence of Sony and the Quality of a Great Witer.
