Almost all my peripherals are USB-based, which includes this CD
writer.
It has a 4x4x6x speed rating, which is slow by today's standard, but
quite adequate for my home use.
So far, it has worked wonderfully well, and it's operation is reliable
and consistent.
One feature I like is its own special format called DirectCD; this
allows you to save and modify files on a CD-RW exactly like a diskette,
meaning you can drag & drop files onto it from the Windows Explorer,
and delete files from it, etc. without reformatting the CD-RW disc.
It takes less than 20 minutes to burn a whole CD-R (650MB) at 4x
speed.
