Comment: Not a good buy Rating:
I made a big mistake of buying this external drive without reading other users opinions. This combo firewire drive heats up fast and stops burning CDR/CDRW after 2 successful tries. I ended up with dozens of coasters with this drive. It's a good thing this drive comes with the firewire card that I can use with my other firewire devices. I would like to return it to the vendor but I wouldn't waste my money for the shipping fees and get another .. replacement in return...

Comment: The description can be confusing. Rating:
The review below is not correctly stated. The fastest burner/speed on the market is 16x (Yamaha LightSpeed). Also there is no such thing as 24x CDs! 4x is not a fast burner, obviously this guy is pretty dumb he probably got a 3 min. burn time because he was only writing a little bit of data to a "700 MB" disc.

Comment: Don't read that guy's comment Rating:
Streko claims that this burner writes at 24x, and does a cd in 3 minutes. Actually, this burner reads at 24x, and writes at only 4x. That is the slowest speed for cd burners on the market today. I don't own this burner, but just thought you'd like to know the truth.
