This affordable bundle is based on Mitsumi's own drive, and it ships with both Adaptec's Easy-CD Pro 95 and DirectCD software.
Installation is a snap, thanks to the clear and concise quick-start card.
If you run into problems, chances are that the troubleshooting section of the manual will get you back on track quickly. The inclusion of documentation for both the drive and the application programs is invaluable and notably rare among bundles in this roundup. Performance during our tests was respectable and consistent. The drive kept pace with other 2X recorders on our 300MB Data Archive and CD Copy tests. You get an excellent software package, great documentation and Web support, and predictable performance.
