Our friends from CDRlabs have reviewed the Philips PCRW2010. This CDRW drive from the Roayl Dutch electronics giant Philips writes at 20 speed, rewrites at 10 speed and reads your data back at 40 speed.
The drive comes with Nero and uses the anti buffer run protection developed by Acer and Philips: Seamless Link. Ofcourse it has Philips Thermal balanced writing. Here's a part of the conclusion:
Highs: |
Features Seamless Link coaster protection.
Very good CD read speeds with all types of media.
Can read CD-RW media as fast as other types.
Low seek times.
Very fast DAE.
Features Thermo-Balanced Writing. Can detect writing speed when CD is inserted.
Supports UDMA 33.
Includes Nero Burning Rom v5.5
Lows:
Thermo-Balanced Writing is picky about what media can write at 20x.
Manual and installation instructions are on CD. No model specific information or drive specs.
Limited number of writing speeds available.
No 1x or 2x writing.
