Teac CD-W516E 16x10x40 CD-RW

You'll get fast CD-RW write speeds and Roxio's newest software with this drive.

WHAT'S HOT: The Teac CD-W516E 16x10x40 CD-RW turned in one of the fastest times on our 100MB CD-RW write test we've seen, taking 1 minute, 32 seconds. This drive is the first we've tested to feature the latest version of Roxio's Easy CD Creator and Direct CD. However, if you want to enjoy the conveniences of the retail Platinum version of Easy CD Creator--such as an integrated MP3 encoder, a CD label creator, a photo slide show maker, and support for encoding VCDs--you'll need to upgrade.

The drive is the fastest on our chart at installing Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business Edition (disc one).

WHAT'S NOT: Teac's tech support is available for just 9 hours on weekdays, and it's not toll-free.

WHAT ELSE: Teac uses Sanyo's Burn-Proof buffer underrun compensation technology to help prevent burning bad discs. The company backs this drive with an industry standard one-year warranty.

BEST USE: If you want fast CD-RW writing and the latest software bundle from Roxio, this is a good bet.
