I put it in a 1900xp box I built for somebody.

It seemed like a pretty good drive. It will burn 500mg in about 3 min at 32x.

A couple of thing that bothered me though is the access seemed a bit sluggish and when it would spin up it sounded like it was revving.

Allthough I sort fo believe this is a XP problem because I have A Lite On 16 speed burner and it performed smoother in Win me>

Xray thanks. I guess 24x to 40x is not that much faster sense 40x is only started at 54 mins which is almost the end of the cd. I mean from 24x to 40x its not a huge difference at all. Wonder if anyone will beable to come out with a 32x or 40x cd-rw that writes like that constantly then that may be a lot faster. I guess thats another bad thing about faster cd-rws too. The noise. So far i think all the 40x cd-rws are pretty noisey

Yep but it burns a cd in 3 mins and something secs right? Not below 3 mins right? Do you own the Plextor 40x btw or no ?

I have heard nothing but good things about Lite On CD-RW drives, they have been in the industry for 25 years.

I just updated my 24x Lite-On to the 40/12/48 ... it isn't a whole lot faster (30-40 seconds) but I used the 24x to upgrade an older 12x unit on another rig. NewEgg should have them next week ...
