| read4u's Full Review: Hi-Val 2X2X24EIDE CD-RW |
There is one constant that exists among our technologically advancing society. Cheaper is not always better. Experience taught me a valuable lesson. I bought one of these drive approximately 8 months to a year ago, and I was very displeased with it. I encountered trouble with it almost immediately after I removed it from it's wrapper. I some trouble trying to get it to read on my computer. At first I thought that it was something that I had done wrong, or that I hasd been given a faulty cable in the package. I switched cables and did some other little things and got it to read. I then ran into some difficulty when I tried to actually burn a cd, record to a blank cd-r. The original software that had been given to me in the package was not working properly. When I called the customer service they notified me that they were having diffuculty with that particular version of software and that they would send me an updated version. I then tried to look at the companies website to see if I could download the updated version instead of waiting for it in the mail. This attempt was unsuccessful as well. After recieving the software I installed it and things still were not working properly. Once again I called the tech support line and they told me that this particular drive was a piece of junk and they advised me to return it to the store that I bought it from and purchase another brand. This is not a drive that I would suggest to someone else to purchase. In fact, I have advised others not to buy this CD-RW drive.
