I just bought a 24x10x40 usb2.0 cdrw but I'm thinking of replacing the 24x10x40 with one of those 48x lite-on cdrws. The 24x is already a lite-on but I don't really want to go through the hassle of replacing it if 24x is the fastest it can burn. TIA.

On 48X burners (all, including external), they can only achieve that speed at the end of the disk, right?

Seems like a waste of money to buy a 48X instead of a 24X....for me, 24X is fine, especially if the 48X can't write at 48X the whole time.

Yeah my friend just told me that they had 48x cdrws hehe. I've never seen any 48x burners around though. Thanks for the info!

something to keep in mind, you are only going to be saving a minute or two at most by switching from a 24x to 48x
