Yamaha introduces new 20x/10x/40x CD-RWs

", 0, 0);


Yamaha's newest CD-R/RW drives, the CRW2200 series, will make their debut at the upcoming CeBIT 2001 tradeshow in Germany, which runs March 22-28. The new drives use a 20x/10x/40x mechanism that supports 4x-10x CAV (constant angular velocity) for constant and controlled rotation speed during data writes to the inner tracks and higher-speed random disc accesses. (Partial CAV is also supported in 12X-20X speed modes.) The drives include SafeBurn technology for enhanced buffer underrun protection and an 8MB buffer. The internal ATAPI version, the CRW2200E, is due in the second quarter of this year. FireWire, internal/external SCSI-3, and USB 2.0 are expected to be available after this summer.

    Don't feel so bad

    If you do the math, you'll only save one minute on a full disk burn (80 min. disk 16x= 5 min., 20x=4 min.). And there's no way that one minute is worth what this drive will cost when it comes out. :)

    yamaha = c***

    Not speaking from personal experience, but I know one or two individuals who purchased the 16x Yamaha went through h*** getting it to burn safely, I don't think either one of them uses it higher than 10 or 12x anymore because it fails so regularly. I don't need anyone to try and explain this to me, as I said this isn't my personal experience. I'm just saying walk carefully when it comes to new technology in the CD-RW arena, I'd personally rather stick with the lower-speed but proven-technology like my HP 9110i 8/4/32 (sure its slower, but I know that it works well)

    thought about media?

    right now there's only 12x certified media, 16x is pretty rare, 20x media anyone?

    20x with 8MB buffer? I'd rather take a 12x with burnproof.

    Yamaha vs. Plextor

    From what I've heard from the integrators (the guys who make these into FireWire products), the Yamaha 16x has had MANY low-level problems since its introduction. (Which is why many of them waited until Plextor and Sanyo came out with their own 16x drives)

    I think I'll wait for Plextor to come out with their 20x drive.. :)

    is yamaha any good?

    I was thinking about buying a Yamaha 2100 (16x) firewire drive, since it sells for 31,000 yen here in Tokyo (about $250 at the current exchange rates). Does anyone have this drive, and how reliable is it? I wanted to buy a que drive, but I can't seem to find them in Japan.
