CenDyne debuts FireWire CD-Rw
updated 08:40 am EDT, Mon August 6, 2001
CenDyne has introduced a 24X10X40 FireWire CD-RW drive which sports a 120 ms average access time. CenDyne says the new drive was designed with technology to prevent buffer under-runs, and (like virtually all FireWire devices) is hot-swappable. The drive comes bundled with Toast and is priced at $300.

Mechanism?
Just like monitor makers now divulge actual viewable dimension, I wish external CD-RW "assemblers" would tell us which mechanism is within. It really would have helped a friend of mine, who bought a QPS/Samsung only because he bought it a few weeks after the same box contained a QPS/Plextor 8x CD-RW.
Either way, I've seen CenDyne stuff all over Fry's Electronics, from drives to media. Is it a decent brand?
