Abstract: <b>Spec:</b> CD-RW, 48x, 12x, 2.2 lbs<br> <b>Good:</b> Affordable.<br> <b>Bad:</b> You must manually select 48X speed; terse documentation; second-rate burning/packet-writing software; poor packet-writing performance.<br> <b>Bottomline:</b> This inexpensive, bare-bones drive offers fairly fast speeds and a brand-name bargain--but it also suffers from poor documentation, weak software, and few extras. Consider the CenDyne Lightning IV instead.<br>
