Title: Disappointment has a new name and they call it CRW2100EZ
Product review: I had really high expectations for this drive, which may have led to the high dissapointment when it didn't meet those expectations. I had a model made in DEC 2000 with the latest firmware version. I couldn't get it to burn CD's consistently. I tried Disk to Disk, Disk to Drive to Disk, with DMA, without DMA, as a slave, as a master, on it's own IDE channel. I even installed it in two different PC's. PIII 500mhz with 256MB RAM and PIII 700mhz with 256MB RAM. The drive would consistently lock up the PC and put out coaster after coaster.I have never used Yamaha drives before. They have a really good reputation and I may try them again at some point, but the bottom line with this product is that it is their flagship drive ( excepting the SSCI version )Needles to say this one is on it's way back.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
