Nice, wonder if this has burn proof?

 

[PicPop]

this is a hot deal
109 for a 12x10x32 cdrw...super hot if this is burn proof..
only 1.85 for shipping..it seems no tax here.

somebody has this drive?...burn proof or not..

 

[SKORPI0]

"Burnproof" not mentioned in Cendyne website.

Cendyne 121032 IDE

 

[Bagger]

With a 4mb data buffer I doubt it has burn-proof. All burn-proof drives I know of only have 2mb buffer.

 

[PicPop]

confirmed:
Not Burn Proof Technology

still good

 

[PicPop]

clone cd compatible?

 

[RossMAN]

clone cd compatible?

I don't see any Cendyne CD-RW's mentioned on CloneCD's hardware requirements, unless Cendyne is a rebadged something?

 

[dingdongdingdong]

hey bagger before you say something please do a research first k Teac 512EB are 4mb buffer and it burn proof too.

 

[Bagger]

dingdongdingdong, I qualified my statement by saying all drives "I know of".. I didn't make a blanket statement, I was only offering a bit of assistance based on my observations. That's interesting to see a burn-proof drive with 4mb buffer. I'd figured that with burn-proof you wouldn't need that large of a buffer, but I guess there could be a slow-down in the burn process if it has to pause burning to let the buffer fill back up. That Teac drive looks like a pretty good deal.

The Cendyne 12x10x32 at Fry's are AOpen drives without burnproof.

 

[ElectroM]

Thanks for the post. This looks like a good deal for a friend that passed up the CompUSA Iomega deal and now regrets it.

 

[breweyez]

I got the cendyne 8/4/32 around nov 24th from a compusa deal(remember it?). It was 99.99 after rebate and came with 50 free cd blanks. I still havent got the $30 rebate. They said they cut the check on the 16th of last week. The drive works ok though.

I bought the Cendyne 6x4x32 from Amazon.com a couple months ago. It was a rebagded Ricoh. I had major problems with it and it died and Amazon replaced it. I was happy with what came in the next Cendyne box, a Teac 8x8x32 drive. Both of these drives are Clone CD compatible.

So yes, Cendyne's are rebagded drives and whether it is has burnproof and/or is Clone CD compatible depends on what you get.

 

[wilbur]

If the picture on the box is reliable than this looks like a Ricoh 7120a also sold here Amazon.There is a user review. Looks like no BurnProof The specs are identical inc 120ms access time. However, ifi it is the 7120a then it is CloneCD compatible in every category.

 

[Tung]

is this drive cloneCD compatible?

 

[ebaker]

The Cendyne 6x4x32 is a Ricoh RW7063, the Cendyne 8x8x32 I saw at Fry's was a Teac. The Cendyne 8x4x32 was a Plextor in early drives, and a Aopen(?) in later drives. All Cendyne's have pictures of Ricohs on the box.

 

[chrisbest01]

It said the Drive support DAO, the only drives that support DAO are from Plextor and HP. And the 16x Yamaha.

So, I take a bet that this drive is a rebagded of Plextor.

don't flame me if the drive is not a plextor.

and, btw, as long as the drive support DAO, clonecd supports it.

 

[MisterE]

ChrisBest, DAO means "Disc-At-Once" and most all CD-R/CD-RW drives support this. I have only seen one drive that didn't support DAO, and it was a Sony 928E 2x IDE drive (my first burner). You probably mean "DAO-RAW," and more than just Plextor and HP support this. Modern Sony drives will burn DAO and DAO-RAW (Sony makes a lot of HP's drives, by the way).

 

[WienerDog]

I may not be much help here, but I though I'd mention I got the Cendyne 6x4x32 from Amazon for about $55 after a rebate. It is a Ricoh drive. I was able to flash it into a 8x8x32. I've been using it about a month now, and it has worked great.

 

[AndrewR]

Tung, can you read?

Seems like a decent deal. BurnProof is an interesting technology, but I've never had the need since I use a SCSI setup anyway. Just sold my Iomega/Plextor 12x10x32 in favor of my current 8x20 CD-R. With the amount I burn, the new drive was overkill.

 

[TuOni]

hey this is a great post. Go to www.esbuy.com a similar drive with burnproof is $132 shipped I believe

here

 

[Zap]

4MB cache is enough on a properly configured system. I built a system for a guy using an Aopen 12x10x32, and it burns fine without Burnproof. No problems at all. Hmmm, maybe the Nero RAM cache has something to do with it Multitasking doesn't even budge it from finishing a burn at 12X.

 

[Hgabriel]

I'm not to concerned with burn-proof as long as it can burn my CDs in less time. If the burn proof technology just slows down the burn to save the CDR then it sucks.
