"...Once again, TEAC has jacked up the velocity a bit with the new CD-W516E and is presenting a new high-speed CD writer at CeBIT. The burn performance of 16x in write or 10x in rewrite mode and the high data transfer rates of 2.4 MB/s for simple writing and 1.5 MB/s for rewriting of CD-Rs are quite presentable. The data buffer of 2 MB and the integrated "Write Proof" technology as standard make the new CD-W516E indispensable for all PC users who attach importance not only to high velocities but also to first-class burn results. Easy installation at the ATAPI/IDE interface, tried and tested Plug-and-Play capability and tested MTBF time of 100,000 hours leave no wishes unmet..."
