I had trouble with another brand cdrw, so I was nervous about trying this one. I took it home and I was burning cd's within five minutes. It came with the nero software and it has worked flawlessly for me. I have had not problems with my win 98se; no lockups, no trouble connecting through the usb. I highly recommend this cdrw.

I was only able to use this CD burner for less than a year. Suddenly, it stopped working. Contacting TDK customer support is a nightmare. There is no direct phone number and assistance is obtained by emailing a form. This burner is NOT worth the price.

I got mine at J&R via Amazon for a very cheap price. However, I ordered the 5200 shown above but was sent a 5201B. It has essentially the same specs - the 5201B has no stand or on-off switch, and there is a "bump" on the top center of the unit instead of being flat as on the 5200 - so I have no real complaint about the product, though the fact it is not what was ordered was surprising. My email to J&R got a standard reply directing me to call them (toll-free) regarding my order...I'll pass.

The unit came complete with USB cable, power supply & cord, a blank TDK CD, and a Nero Express bundle which is the "lite" version the software, and quick start guide.

I think it was fifty bucks well spent regardless of the variation in the product description. Pay your money, take your chances.
