"..the Creative CD-ReWriteable 6424 drive is a best buy on any occasion. Most other CD-RW's at the same price range between 2X-2X-24X and 4X-2X-24X. Logically, this drives price/performance ratio is top-notch. Other obvious benefits include the ability to not only write, but also re-write, which most do not take into consideration when buying such a drive. Seek time, and buffer size are also on par with other competitors. In fact, the only fault I could find is in Read time.."

I think it called "Rewritable" :).. Apart from this i think for 229$ Creative 6x/4x/24x seems a nice deal (for now).. In short time when 12x CDR/W (399$ internal model) come it won't..
