LG Electronics 32X/12X/8X REWRITABLE EIDE/ATAP CED-8120BI 8MB W/SOFTWARE RETAIL
Bottom Line
The quiet and sturdy CED-8120BI drive features excellent overall performance and value. It should deftly handle most tasks.
LG Electronics CED-8120B
WHAT'S HOT: The CED-8120B offers both 12X CD-R write speed and excellent all-around read performance for a very reasonable price. The drive burned our 650MB image file in 7 minutes, 13 seconds, and it wrote our 100MB test folder to CD-RW in 1 minute, 54 seconds--times that compare well with those of similarly rated drives.
This 12X/8X/32X model is also one of the quietest drives we've tested and has an exceptionally sturdy tray mechanism. The CED-8120B includes detailed manuals for the hardware and software, plus something almost unheard of these days: DOS drivers on floppy disk. Adaptec's Easy CD Creator 4.02 and DirectCD 3.01 handle the CD-mastering and packet-writing tasks.
WHAT'S NOT: The drive includes no buffer underrun compensation technology, such as Sanyo's Burn-Proof or Ricoh's JustLink. However, the large 8MB buffer seemed to help us avoid ruining discs during our testing.
WHAT ELSE: Toll-free technical support is available for 12 hours on weekdays only. The CED-8120B carries an industry-standard one-year warranty.
BEST USE: This quiet, sturdy drive features excellent overall performance and value, and it should deftly handle most any task thrown at it.
