Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Yamaha offers new CRW2200 series of the fast CD-R/RW drives. The drive offers 20x burn speed, 10x rewriting, and 40x reading. The CRW2200 depends on Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) recording to achieve its high speeds. Partial CAV enables the drive to work at a constant and controlled rotation speed when writing to the inner tracks on the disk. The CRW2200 also employs SafeBurn, Yamaha's implementation of buffer underrun protection, a 8MB caching technology, which has been developed to reduce the likelihood that the drive will run out of data before the disk, is finished burning.The CRW2200 also utilizes Optimum Write Speed Control, which will automatically adjust the write speed for different disks, thus eliminating the need for users to manually adjust the write speed of the drive depending on the CD-R's compatibility.

 Rating:  - Chinesse made Drive on a Japanesse Box!I thought I was getting a quality product but after installed it made a rumbling noise. Call Yamaha and said it was defective, sent me a replacement; it worked fine for a week then it just Quit! Yamaha CS refused to replace the second one. Even though they sent it directly! Most upset, bought and HP cd burner and have not had a problem yet. It was true what my frinds said, go with proven quality even if you pay a bit more. Rating: - Yamaha CRW2200EZ - Solid and reliable CD audio/data RWAfter performing a moderate amount of research on CD Writers, the information I obtained pointed favorably in the direction of the Yamaha CRW2200EZ...True to the literature, the unit was easy to install (though I have do have some limited experience adding hardware to my aging Gateway 300). Though initially I experinced several computer freezes(probably because of my Gateway), I overcame these problems. The "Nero" audio software is great for CDR's. It is relatively easy to use and includes the ability to construct semi pro looking CD labels. I found the ability to transfer my business data files from my old computer to new one worked well using the Nero data transfer Wizard. However, while the "IN CD" software for drag & drop data transfer on to CDRW's appears to work, it will only transfer the data copied on the CDRW discs to computers which recognize this ("IN CD") software. My experience has shown that Windows XP does not as yet recognize the "IN CD" software. While "Reader" software ...

I recomment this burner to everyone. Rating: - Does not get any better!The installation was simple (installed in a ancient artifact that still works great, a Dell Dimension Pro XPS200n using Windows 98se). I took out the original five year old CD Drive and plugged in the Yamaha, no adapters or anything required. There is no comparision to the speed of the Yamaha over the old factory drive. The software is so complete, that I am still learning how to take advantage of everything that it is capable of. I have done several data back ups, audio CD's and photoghaphic slide show CD's without a hitch. It is quiet, fast and great value for the money. It is faster and superior to the Sony that came installed with my Dell Dimension 4100 Pentium 4 using Windows XP. Rating: - EasyCD-RW drives should be a commodity by now, but there seem to be lots of problems surrounding them still. This drive is easy to set up and use; I haven't had any problems with it, the advertised speeds seem to be easily achievable, and there haven't been any glitches yet. The box is full of software for both Windows and Mac, I happened to be setting it up on Linux, so I didn't need this, but everything needed to install and use the drive was there, including a sample disk, labels, a label positioner, and all of the cables and screws you need. Great value for the price. |
