Pros: Speed,reliability,extra software programs, Did I mention Speed? Cons: None so far.
I just bought the TDK CDRW121032 earlier today. I know it may seem kind of soon to write an epinion on it but it has already out done the other two that we have owned.
When we bought our pc it came with a Sony CDRW CRX100E which I believe is...
Pros: flawless burning, great software bundle, nifty little free magic marker Cons: as with any internal peripheral, possible installation confusion
If you're reading this now and are questioning whether or not to buy this particular cd-burner you can feel free to skip the rest of this review and go right out to your retailer-of-choice and purchase the veloCD burner.
Pros: Fast, Quiet, Great Software. Did I say FAST? Cons: Documentation for Nero is poor.
The time had come. The 250meg Zip drives were just not holding enough data plus those Zip cartriges just aren't popular enough to use everywhere. I decided to go with a CD-RW instead and after reading an article in January's Maximum PC bought a TDK...
Well the time finally came and I moved on replacing my old Memorex CD-RW 4x2x24 with the TDK VeloCD 8x4x32. Awaiting for Epinions to finally post the product so that I may review it. The time is now, and with that I will proceed as planned with...
Pros: 24X10X40 with 40X rip speed - cool coloring - great functionality Cons: not impressed with NERO 5.5
All right I will start this off by saying that I have been away from epinions for a long time now and have just decided to return to the scene. With that I will go on with the intentions of this review. Although this section is dedicated to the 12 X 10 X...
Pros: Fast burn time, Fast Rip speed, BurnProof Technology Cons: Small internal buffer, Doesnt live up to speed claims, NERO Burn
The TDK VeloCD 12x Internal IDE Burner is straight-forward to install, but doesnt live up to its full claims of superior speed and burn-proof technology.
I purchased the TDK VeloCD with after hearing that you could use your computer while...
Pros: Fast CDRW writing, reads subchannel data and audio and can rip CDs at 32x Cons: Could be a few bucks cheaper but hey, ...you get what you pay for.
The TDK VeloCD 12x10x32 CDRW drive is one of the few high speed CD writers that is truly worth the money you spend on it. I have had much experience with this drive in the last two months installing, troubleshooting and using this drive at work. The...
Pros: BURN-Proof means almost no bad burns, fast performance, straightforward installation & setup Cons: TDK Digital MixMaster software is a liability, weak software documentation, somewhat pricey
With all of the ads for CD-R and CD-Rewritable drives today, it's hard to know which drives are worth buying. In the field of CD "burners," you definitely get what you pay for. A $100 difference in price often means a difference between a pile of...
Pros: FAST, large internal buffer, good software suite, easy installation Cons: Doesn't include Adaptec VideoCD creator, price is high in some stores
I was on a mission! My girlfriend's mom handed me a fistful of cash and asked me to go down to a local computer store and get her a good CD-R drive for her system. Off I went, and I was given 3 options when I arrived: the TDK veloCD-RW drive (approx....
Pros: No more frisbee's, accurate burning, does what it claims Cons: Bundled MP3 player suite might not be very user-friendly for rookies
Ah yes, burning cd's; what a lovely thing...provided it WORKS!! Fear not if you buy the TDK VeloCD 12/10/32. Having teethed myself with an HP for about a year I was ready to move on to better (and faster) things. Having gone to Best Buy to look for...
Pros: BurnProof, Nero 5.0 bundled, Cons: None yet, will update.
Well honestly the only reason I bought this burners is because Buy.com had it on as the special of the day. I obtained my very own 12X/10X/32X for a low low cost of only $120. Honestly, where can you beat that price? I've been waiting for a decent 12X...
Pros: Very Fast, Efficient, Stylish Cons: cannot erase .wav files from a cd, other than that, none
The TDK Velo 12/10/32 CD-RW Drive is a CD Rewriter that will amaze you forever. I have never owned a cd rewrited until this year. I have read reviews abuot other rewriters and have generally ready that it takes an average of half an hour to write a cd. I...
Pros: Fast, reliable, Burn proof technology, handles every situation Cons: No audio cable provided with drive, bundled software good but could be easier
I purchased the TDK Velo CD 12x/10x/32x about a month ago after doing extensive research on CD-RWs. In my research I considered Sony, HP, and Plextor. I recommend you check out www.cdrfaq.org for a tremendous amount of information on CD-RWs.
Pros: Reliable & fast. Great for people with big MP3 collections. Cons: bundled software has some issues.
Background
I'm an experienced CD burner for many years now, back when blanks cost over $5 each, and we were talking 1x burners and SCSI interfaces exclusively. So I've seen the industry slowly evolve, and now we're getting somewhere...
Pros: Price, Speed, Software Bundle, Reliability, No Coasters at all Cons: Absolutely NONE. Perfect score
Note Added 11-Nov-00: The Nero 5 software has free updates on the tdk site and supported very well but they dont tell you this version only works with their TDK burner. So if you have two CD burners on the same system like me this could cause some...
My old 4x Smart and Friendly burner (see my Epinion of it) was just getting old. 20 minutes now seemed like an eternity to burn a CD. I had 100 CDs stolen out of my Jeep and I needed to replace them. I needed something faster....
This is the best E-IDE CD-RW out there right now (next to plextor). This cdrw is fast and does everything the box says. Writes at 12X with 100% error free burning EVERYTIME. I think anyone who's looking to buy a descent cd-rw drive, they should consider...
Pros: Burnproof technology, cheaper price, easy installation. Cons: CDRW formatting takes too long, Musicmatch Jukebox is only a freeware.
I got this Porsche to replace my Hundai, HP8100i 4x2x16x. I picked TDK veloCD not only because of its speed, but also of the BurnProof technology which is the most important. Now with this technology I can run multitask on my PC while burning CDs without...
Pros: Fast, reliable, trouble-free operation. Great Nero software Cons: TDK Digital MixMaster software
I bought this drive after considerable research and couldn't be happier with my decision.
Setup and installation was a breeze and there is a video for people who aren't familiar with installing drives (I didn't view the video, so I'm not sure...
Pros: 12x burning (with burn-proof), Mac and PC compatible, good PC burning software Cons: No Mac burning software included, slower than 12x burning on PC
I purchased a TDK VeloCD for use with a Macintosh G4 tower ("Sawtooth" model). I chose the VeloCD because it was an affordably priced (with a $50 rebate at the time of purchase) 12x "burn proof" burner. The mechanism used in this drive is almost...
Pros: Decent speed, good buffer underrun protection Cons: Wacky drivers cause problems with Win2k
Most of the reviews here have done a good job of giving an overview of this CD burner, so I won't retread that territory. Instead, I want to call attention to a problem I encountered using this burner on a Windows 2000 system.
I have to say that tdk has done it again. My first burner was the tdk 8x 4x 32x with no problems what so ever. Now, Tdk has just come out with a faster product. I just had to get it. Tdk products are well built. For starters, I've noticed that...
Pros: fast! easy! no coasters can theoretically be made Cons: more expensive than the plextor 12/10/32
Let me start off by saying that there is no ugly side to this device. I have two burners. The TDK velocd and the Plextor 12/10/32 CDWriter are on par despite what some people say. Apparently the Plextor writer is suppose to be the BEST burner though I...
Pros: Comes with a Lot of Software, Made by the company that creates the BEST CD-R's Cons: Expensive, not the fastest out
I tried the ACER CRW8432A drive and it didn't work reliably (always an error or coaster). I tried the HP 9150i CD-RW drive and it claimed that all my new blank discs were dirty, scratched and had finger prints on them. Please read my reviews on other...
Pros: Fast and flawless CD output Cons: Limited third-party software support
When I went looking for a CDRW to replace my Pacific Data 8x4x2, I tried out several newer drives. That included Acer, HP, and I/O Magic. All were either 8x4x32 or 10x4x32. All worked OK but never seemed to writer faster than my my old 4x machine....
TDK's veloCD CDRW drives have a great reputation, but 8x writing is getting slow these days. Solution: veloCD 12x/10x/32x! This drive is fast! Compared to an 8x drive, this thing blazes. Write a full CDR in well under 10 minutes.
Pros: Reliability, burn speed Cons: Tray is slow, TDK software is an accident waiting to happen
I was determined to stop swapping discs in my car to change song genres. I had gigabytes of MP3's spread about, and I wanted a "Pre-Workout" CD, a tailgating CD, etc. A friend had purchased this and didn't complain, so I bought the VeloCD...
Pros: Blazing fast speed Cons: Problems with the CD-RW formatting software
I guess it's just good old brotherly competition. My brother had purchased a computer with a CD-RW drive so that he could store files and create music CD's. His burner speed had a write speed of 4x and a rewrite speed of 2x, with a write speed of...
Pros: Good performance, reasonable price, upgradeable firmware. Cons: Frequent problems reading CD-RWs, software package not solid
I'm very disappointed with my TDK CD writer and almost buying a different brand.
Although the performance is good, the unit nice looking and the software bundle makes a good first impression, I have discovered that this unit is unable to...
Pros: Very fast , easy to set up, with BurnProof Technology. Cons: Expensive
I'm writing this Epinions not for the GearHeads ( because I would quickly be exposed as a fraud..eh! eh! eh! ) I'm just your average Joe when it comes to tech stuff; what little I know about computers and related items comes from surfing the Web for...
I have a budget under 100 for a CDRW.
So I searched for a deal and found sony spressa 32/8/4
It is 70 after rebate(buy.com). And was reviewed good here.
At the same time, I saw VeloCD 32/12/10 (130 after rebate).
and it was reviewed...
Pros: Cost is good. Cons: Dosen't work, POOR Tech Support.
What a waste. I have the HP CD Writer 8300i 12/8/32 and wanted to upgrade to the Velo 16/10/40. I read all the great reviews on it and bought it today. I have a 1 ghz PC with all the options. I removed my HP and installed the TDK. Didn't work. All...
Pros: Burn-proof really works, Works with Adaptec software 4.02c and greater also. Cons: Not a big fan of Nero or InCD software.
If you are here, you have read all the hype on TDK's web site and know all the specs. Here is what I have discovered.
Burn-proof is not a total hardware solution. The software must support this option. Adaptec EZCD Creator versions 4.02c and greater...
Pros: Extremely fast and never had "bad" burn. Cons: Trouble with TDK's "mixing" software.
I have burned approximately 200 data/audio CD's since purchasing this VeloCD CD burner almost a year ago. I have never made a "CD coaster" for it has a feature called "Burn-proof". I have been extremely pleased with it for I have friends that bought...
I had a Philips Omniwrite cd writer. It was troublesome right from the beginning. The most irritating problem was that whenever the philips writer tried to read a disk, it would freeze the computer for 10-15 seconds. I buy this latest top of the line...
Pros: Super Fast! Easy to install, great software Cons: None so far.
Wow! This thing is fast! I just got this thing about a week ago, and already I've burned over 10 CD's. I got it at my local Best Buy, which was offering a $50 mail in rebate, plus a $30 gift card with it's purchase. Basically, that brings the price...
Pros: Priced right, BurnProof design, easy to install. Cons: Nero software not the easiest to interpret
When I purchased my PC, CD-RWs weren't widely available and were pretty pricey, but after a couple of years, I decided I needed a decent bulk storage solution and also wanted a tool to make custom-burned CDs for listening to music. My father had...
I just got this burner at CompUSA for $129 with a $50 rebate. That means this drive was only $79!!
I had an aging HP 4x burner that didn't give me any trouble but it was quite slow. This TDK rips music at around 20x (not quite their 32x claim but...
Pros: Copy a CD in under 10 min., Very Reliable, Good Software, Reputable Company Cons: Nero is not the most user friendly software I've seen
I got my burner earlier this year and I have been in love with it ever since. I did quite a bit of research on them, and found this was the one for me. Many companies use cheap components in their burners and TDK doesn't. I also heard that TDK uses...
Pros: Easy to use, good software package Cons: None
I've had a VeloCD for about 9 months now and it's great. The installation was pretty easy. It fit easily into the CPU case and hooked right up. The software install was smooth and I was up and running. It comes with a good package of applications to...
Pros: Inexpensive, Reliable, 10x RW, and burn proof. Software is easy Cons: 12x isnt quite the fastest out there any more.
This is the most reliable/stable cd burner I have ever used. Had it for around a year and a half now, Never burned a coaster, and I burn A LOT of cds. I own quite a few writers and this is by far my favorite. 12x recording isn't really very high end...
