Digital camera reviews of Yamaha CRW2100FXZ 16x10x40 External FireWire CD-RW Kit
Digital camera Review: CRW2100FXZ
Summary: 5 Stars
I have nothing but great things to say about Yamaha's CRW2100FXZ. I was looking for a CD-RW drive that would give me the speed and dependability I needed to burn digital video onto a CD. That's what the CRW2100FXZ gave me. I read the other reviews about this product and I do have to agree with the comments about the noise of the unit. A little on the loud side when playing back a CD at 40X. But don't let that stop you from buying this unit. After opening the unit, I read the instruction booklet (which by the way is written well for both PC and MAC users). After reading the booklet, the install was quick and easy. I was burning my first disc within 20min. The only item that I wish Yamaha would have been more generous on was the Toast software. The unit comes with the basic Toast software. At least they could have given us a discount to upgrade. The only other odd thing is that when I received the unit, the model number seems to have changed. It's now the CRW2100-IX, which is strange since all of Yamaha's info says that it is a CRW2100fxz. Overall, if your looking for a fast, reliable, cost-effective CD-RW drive, this is the one to get.

It rewrites CD-RW discs at the speed of 10x and reads CDs at a sustained maximum rate of 40x. In addition, the drive lets you rip CDs--convert CD music tracks to WAV and MP3 files for creating music CDs on a PC--at a speed of 40x, allowing digital audio extraction of a 74-minute audio disc in less than three minutes.The drive's Pure Phase laser system, found exclusively in Yamaha products, reduces reflections and glare when CDs are recorded, resulting in fewer errors on the finished disc. Reliability is also increased through Optimum Write Speed Control, which automatically selects the best recording speed for a disc.
