Good & Bad

by witchyangel , Oct 20 '01
Pros: easy to install software, affordable drive, easy to use
Cons: very picky about what it wants to do
In March I recieved a 4X/2X/24X Sony CD-RW Drive to go into the new computer I was building for my birthday. Never got around to building that computer, so I decided to have it installed in my current desktop machine. I had a 333Mzh Emachine.

Burn your cd's right!

by spankumuch123 , Jun 17 '01
Pros: Burns cd's at a fast rate with qaulity sound.
Cons: You have to have it inserted into your modem.
What is it?
Sony CD-RW Recorder is a cd burner. This burner burns cd's at a fast rate. My old cd burner didn't even work, so my dad got me a new one. This burner is for windows 95/98/Me/2000, Windows NT 4.0, and is very reliable. So far I've burned...

Shame on Me

by optionexplicit , Mar 16 '01
Pros: Nominally useful.
Cons: Horrible software. Flaky hardware.
Fool me once, the old saying goes, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Sony fooled me twice.

Back at the beginning of my long and illustrious career as an ePinions writer, I wrote a piece about the Sony SPressa USB external CD...

If I wanted homemade coasters I would go to a craft store

by CreamChief , Nov 29 '00
Pros: The free CD-Stomper
Cons: Flaky hardware, mediocre software, erratic tech support
Problematic from the beginning, I have sent it back to be fixed under warranty twice. The software is functional but not great, and the hardware is flaky. Oh, where do I begin?

The Sony saga

The saga began immediately. I...

The Music Lover's Best Friend

by kitchenwizard , Nov 19 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, practical, simple operation and complete software suite included
Cons: Occasional buffer underrun when copying disk to disk
I purchased this drive by accident. I was bidding on a similar Creative IDE CD RW drive on Ebay and when I won the auction, the seller, a computer store in North Carolina was out of stock. They substituted this drive, new and in factory sealed box....

What a piece of junk

by hpbob , Oct 27 '00
Pros: Errors are very repeatable
Cons: Is highly unreliable
I bought a external Spressa CD-RW with USB interface. I didn't know much about CD burners at the time but figured that Sony was a good brand name. I have put up with this piece of junk for over six months. In that time it has been able to burn CD's...

Great CD-RW, Easy to use

by baddassy2j , Sep 30 '00
Pros: Very compatable, easy to use
Cons: Can't think of any.
I got this as a gift for Christmas last year. I have never had a problem with it. The software included with it is EXTEMELY easy to use. To make an audio CD, you can just drag the icons to the window, and select record. It is that easy! I have made...

What Would I Do Without The Sony Spressa?!?

by X4FiT17 , Sep 19 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, compact, stylish, comes with a warranty, easy to use, and a great buy,
Cons: None!
I decided to purchase a CD-Burner about four weeks ago and I have had nothing but good things to say about my purchase: the Sony Spressa. I was looking for a way to easily make backup copies of my CD-Roms, and boy did I find a way (not to mention...

Sony has their head where the sun don't shine.

by soveryfun , Sep 12 '00
Pros: It worked when I purchased it
Cons: Support blew smoke up my butt.
I bought one of these almost a year ago. At first I was a burning fool. Didn't have hardly an issue. The only complaint I had was the software was limiting. Easy fix for that is to buy better software. I really did like this unit when I started out with...

It ain't all that!

by vessa1 , Jul 26 '00
Pros: not sure
Cons: not reliable
I brought the USB Spressa and now I got problems. At first it
worked okay, installation when alright. It was recognized by windows (98 se) and I finally
got the software to work right after getting tech support on the line.

Next to Perfect

by hingeswift , Jul 17 '00
Pros: FAST disk writing, perfectly stable, no coasters, packet writing, 80 minute support
Cons: No overburning
Over three years ago, I bought a Memorex CR-622 2x burner - the first commercially available IDE burner under $300. It worked fine for a while, but then inexplicably starting "coastering" nearly every other disk. I finally had my fill about a...

Software in the Way

by Kuni , Jul 12 '00
Pros: Cheap, stylish, compatible
Cons: Compatible...if the software actually works, hard time getting a decent CD
Let's face it. In today's world, floppy discs are so 90's. I mean, who really has files under 2 megs nowadays? And if you do, why not use an online storage area? It's quick, easy, and more efficient than carrying that plastic square around town.

The software makes this product go bad

by adamadi , May 28 '00
Pros: Easy Installation, Good Hardware
Cons: Horrible bundled software
This Sony drive comes with the drive and cables, 1 cdr and 1 cdrw, a coupon for a CD Stomper and the manual.

Installation was fairly simple, even for people who don't know much about computers, the manual explains all that you need. The...
