TDK 32X 10x 40x CDRW

TDK VELO 32X 10x 40x CDRW

I own the 24x flavor and its awesome, never makes coasters and is very fast.

Here is the description I found:

TDK smashes the speed barrier with its 32/10/40 veloCD ReWriter. The proof is in the numbers: burn a full CD in under 4 minutes with 32X writing and rip a 3-minute audio track in 5 seconds with 40X digital audio extraction. If you demand uncompromising quality and unrivaled performance, you need the flagship veloCD 32/10/40, the world's first 32X CD burner. A ONE DRIVE SOLUTION With 40X ripping and 32X writing, the new veloCD burner is so fast it may be the only drive you need. For CD-to-CD-R recording, it's a one-drive alternative that's better sounding and takes less than half the time of most two-drive setups. The 32X veloCD lets you burn while running multiple applications. You're free to burn CDs while you surf the Web, download music or print a document. With the 32X veloCD, you're assured of perfect CDs every time--no failed sessions, no CD coasters.

There are a boat-load of quality 24X burners that are on the market now for under $50. Seeing as a 32X only burns a disc about 15 seconds faster than a 24X I really don't see the point of blowing that kind of money.

Also, TDK does not make their own burner, you need to find out whose burner it actually is that's been re-badged to know what kind of deal this is.

its terrible

Well back to the discussion:

I have this burner, and it's absolutely incredible. Plus, TDK's DAE (digital audio extraction) simply cannot be beat. Solidly faster than my Plex 24x. Highly recommended, especially if you rip a lot of CDs.

 

[F155mph]

How much faster is faster? Is there really a big difference between 24x vs 32x vs 40x?

 

[subpar]

Dunno if there is a referral link in there. Nice drive.

Costco had this CDR for $139.99.

But then there was a $30 mail-in Costco rebate and the package included 10 blank CD-Rs.

Net cost = $109.99 + tax.

Not hot! the TDK VELO 24X I have is a rebadged Lite-on and you can get a Lite-on 32x for under $90, just check Pricewatch.com.
Of course if you want more bang for your buck you would go for the $35 CenDyne 24x drive deal.

The 32X VeloCD has Plextor guts. Comes with Nero 5.5 (TDK version only allows you to burn with VeloCD-you cannot choose multiple recorders unless all are TDK).

Not that it has made people lazy, the thing is that there is an information overflow.

 

[MontyBurns]

SO, people are alleging that the TDK is really a rebadged Lite-On, and others are arguing it's a rebadged Plextor.

You're both wrong. This drive is made exclusively for TDK.

My friend got in on the Lite-On 32x deal at Best Buy, and his DAE is roughly half the speed of mine.

Not that I want to challenge your uninformed blanket statements...


EDIT: I see the person actually said the tdk *24x* is a rebadged lite-on. That very well may be, but I'm not sure how that's relevant to this discussion of the 32x....

Last time I was in my local Costo, they didn't have 32x TDK's.

They did have the 40x for $179 minus a $30 MIR.

 

[MontyBurns]

TDK doesn't have a 40x cd writer.

 

[DorkBoy]

Newegg has a MITSUMI 32x12x40x CD-RW w/ Nero V5.5 for $91 Shipped.

 

[ebaker]

TDK 12x burners were Plextors, 16x were Sanyos, early 24x were Sanyos (I think), and later ones were Liteon. Does anyone know who makes the 32x?

Actually you are all wrong....:Q

The current shipping retail boxed TDK 32X drives are Sanyos with BurnProof Technology as identified by their FCC ID label. We have pruchased six of these from various retailers since Jamuary and all have been Sanyos. TDK, like all OEMs, has a habit of using the more expensive Sanyo manufactured CD-RW drive with a release of a new CD-RW product and then later switching to cheaper manufacturers as more OEMs offer a similar product at a cheaper price. TDK usually switches to Lite-On drives as competition drives prices down, but for now if you pruchase a 32X TDK CD-RW your getting a Sanyo.

 

[gonzo2k]

I THOUGHT the TDK was the equivalent of the Sanyo BP1600- I was told it was Plextor @ CompUSA, so I BOUGHT it @ Best Buy for $149-$30 rebate. Hope this clears up any confusion.

 

[HGC]

I took the Best Buy deal as well. The sales guy told me the laser is made by Plextor, something new for TDK. How he knew I didn't ask. I love the burner, it is fast, reliable so far, and documentation and software very good.

 

[Bob/NYC]

TDK 12x burners were Plextors

FYI:
The ones with the "A" suffix 121032A are Ricohs, with Justlink. I have one, flawless... Those without the "A" were Plextors 121032.

 

[gonzo2k]

Just to maintain the proper level of confusion:
