For last 4 years I always had a dream that I would like to own a CD writer, but as they were expensive that time, my dad never let me buy one, me n my family always trust products from sony... and sony writer was the most expensive in this product, n samsung was the king... but as whooollle world know samsung cant even yet succeded in removing their trey problem, I always used to hate samsung drives, suddenly in mid feb 2004 I heard that sony writer has got cheaper n I am getting it for 2100/- Rs.!!!
I rushed to computer shop n grabbed one for me with my eyes closed as it was sony!
on next day for my dads companies presentation I wrote 115 CDz!! n I used moserbeer blank cdz.. n not a single was a failure... it took 2mins 06 secz for one cd.. I wrote it at the speed of 52X.. as drive is provided with speeds 52X-32X-52X..
From that I am famouse in my friends for reliable CD writer... yet I must have written more than 500 cdz, with not a single failure, that too in multisessions of 6 to 8 writings !! so .. I will say again ... it’s a sony....
Just in one CD I file of 4 mb is unreadable... n for that I blame the cd.. as its of philips..
thats all, I am fulllllly happy and satisfied with this sony model.. I own a sony TV.. a digicam n now a writer.. n never had problems with sony products, so forget samsung, accer, benq, n lg... all look amature in frount of sony writer.. I fully recommend this srive for your machine... its pure technology has got 2 mb buffer..
Plus my experience with rewritable cd is also amazing... its so easy to share data with rewritable cd! n that rewritable cd is also sony!!.. so its world of sony.. sony rocks!!.. but there is a loophole.. if ur r unlucky n sony starts giving problem... sony has got weeeeeeakset after sales network buddy... but till today I never had to visit to dealer for problem with sony products....
Thats all.. stay tuned.. n let me know ur experience of sony CRX230E!!
adios
