| 23144 | 2001-10-30 22:14:00 | Hi I am thinking of taking the next storage step and investing in an internal IDE CD-RW and I have three questions: 1) What is the fastest combination of R/W/RW and normal CD operation currently available? 2) Are any major speed improvements likely in the near future? 3) I hear/read in F1 that these drives seem to have a short life. What is the most reliable brand. CD-RW drives don't seem to be review in PC World very often and it would be just my luck to buy just before the next speed increment is released. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Not sure of the details exactly, but apparently gives storage space even greater than that of a DVD. |
