Adrian's Rojak Pot has posted a review on the 16x10x40x Lite-On BURN-Proof CD-RW drive



BURN-Proof, as you would have read from the previous review, was developed by Sanyo to overcome the buffer under-run error that plagues most CD-RW users. For those of you who don't know what a buffer under-run is, it's an error that occurs when the computer cannot stream the needed data to the CD-RW drive fast enough for the burning process to proceed normally.

As older CD-RW drives cannot pause the burning process to 'wait' for the needed data, a burn error occurs, creating a coaster (unusable CD).
