Quality of the Recording As far as I can tell, the copies are as good as the originals in quality. I've played my burned CDs quietly and loudly in my home stereo system and the sound is rich and robust. All our other players seem to have no trouble with the copies. Now that I've got this drive working on all three of my computers, I'm basically pleased with my purchase. Most of the features I like in this drive are functional rather than aesthetic.
FireWire drive is fast and reliable.
I actually did this the first time I burned one, blissfully ignorant that, with some drives, using other programs often causes errors in the burning process. One superficial feature that I like is the protective carrying bag. Because I tend to take this drive back and forth between home and work, it allows me to conveniently carry the drive and all the cords and discs in one place. The appearance of this drive is neutral, as far as I'm concerned. The graphite mixed with frosted white makes it look like a Mac product.
