This is SCSI RW drive. Will burn 650M in less than 10 min. Great for servers with SCSI drives to daisy chain.

Bought this drive. Worked for 3 months. It was great for first 3 months. Broke on the 4th month. Contacted Yamaha. After numourous run around, gave me non-working number for RMA #. When it works, it's great. Their service/support people suck! Once it breaks, you're on your own. But if it doesn't break, you're blessed with fortune.

Just my experience, your mileage may vary.

After 2years with my previous Yamaha drive and quite happy with it I was determined to find a newer faster Yamaha. The main reason for me sticking with the Yamaha brand was the Yamaha customer service. During the initial installation of my 1st drive I found them to invaluable. I didn't have any trouble with this drive at all. I will say that the increased speed I picked up on my new drive was money well spent , especially considering I payed more for a slower drive that was not rewritable 2 years ago. I know there are less expensive drives on the market but nothing is worth the fustration of poor or no service department. That has been the main reason I shop at amazon.com! Thanks

I just installed an internal version of the 6416S in an old Macintosh 7500. And it works great. So far. I also use a program from optimatech.com that doubles the capacity of the CDR & CDRW disks to 1.2GB. Great for backups of large data.

I have this drive in the external scsi version and it is great. I make fast burns with never a problem. I have friends who have cheaper burners who sometimes get bad burns for no reason...

This drive was exceptionaly slow, it also had poor re-write quality, and was a hassle to install.

This product is absolutely GREAT There is nothing wrong with it at ALL fastest copying EVER GET THIS BURNER!!

I bought my CD drive about a month ago and it didn't work at all. I then tok it back and got another one that also didn't work. When I had to pay someone to come to help me to get it to work, he suggested that I take it back and get a different brand. I tried to make one CD with it and it tokk forever.
