I am no computer genius, but I am no computer illiterate either. I reside somewhere in between, in the domain of average users. I know the basics of various applications and the wonders that my computer can do. But I am not the kind who is concerned about regularly updating myself of the latest gadgets, gizmos, and what have you about computers. I only feel the urge, or rather the necessity to update (and upgrade, as computer language would have it) my knowledge on computers when a certain need arises that my current computer set cannot address or incapable of attending to. Forgive me for admitting this, but I never really knew how to do compact disk burning, and much more dvd burning, until just recently. I skipped the stage, I know. Being able to use the flash drive and yet ignorant of cd and dvd burning is something really obscure, that's something I can concede to. Anyway, the point here is that I now know how to do it, and better late than never. Upon a friend's prodding, I bought a CD writer drive through www.cd-writer.com about three weeks ago. Choosing was so difficult given the many options and choices of products to pick. The Asus 52x/24x/52x comes with a CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) writing technology that significantly shortens or lessens the recording time. It is capable of achieving higher average recording speed when compared to other high-speed CD-RW drives on the market. Statistics from the ASUS R&D lab demonstrated that with a maximum speed of 52X, the recording time for a full 650MB CD can be minimized to less than 2 1/2 minutes. Also, it comes with a dust-proof mechanical design. This design can prevent dust from coming into the drive and prevent damages that may happen inside the key components such as pick-up head. The faster a drive writes, the louder the noise it creates. So to control the noise effectively, an AFF (air flow field modification technology) is implemented to the ASUS CRW-5224A. Impressive I thought, but I decided to browse more and look for others products that could have other more features. Then I saw Sony 52x24x52x. With Sony's untainted reputation in quality service, optimum functionality, and cutting-edge technology, I was really impressed with its CD writer drive features. It boasts of a 52x CD-R Speed that can burn or copy a full CD in just over 2 minutes. It is also powered with a Power-Burn conformed technology for a more accurate and more reliable CD writing. The CD Writer Drive comes with a CD Recording software for Windows users and it has a 52x Digital Audio Extraction speed for ultra-fast MP3 ripping. What a treat for music lovers like me. But the one I chose to buy is the LG 52x32x52 black cd writer. For the price of not more than fifty dollars, the CD Writer has a writing speed of 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x, 48x, 52x for CD-Recordable and a writing speed of 4x, 10x, 12x, 16x, 24x, 32x for CD re-writable. Its maximum access time is 90ms and it supports drag and drop CD Copying with Mt Rainier standards. It has an improved high-speed recording quality with its anti-flutter technology. It has a buffer memory of 2MB with buffer under run prevention technology. So far, it has been servicing me well and has been keeping to the promise of its features. I've been burning mp3s and loads of home videos with no deficiency in terms of quality and durability at all. The next item I'm planning to purchase is a dvd writer drive. I could have bought a combo, but I opted not to since I don't have that much need yet on copying data and videos in dvd format. But if ever the need suddenly arises, the Sony DRU-810A will be the one. It premieres speed and quality with its 8x DVD+R DL speed. The DRU-810A can burn 7.9 GB in only 15 minutes when using a 2.4x DVD+DL media. This is a faster rate than its leading competitor. Now that's a sure good find. My orientation to CD burning and DVD burning may be too late for others, but given the even playing field in the world of information technology nowadays, it's not impossible anymore to hurry and catch up. In the coming days, I plan to further update myself with the latest and coolest stuff there are for my computer. Having changed my computer's LCD, having bought a good flash drive for it, and having it equipped with a fast, reliable CD writer drive, my computer will soon be modernized and up-to-date to the latest trends. Online shopping sites are very easy to access and lots of discounts are available almost everywhere so things will not be that hard at all.
