How are ACER CD Burners?

[radman]

I'm looking at an ACER 4x4x32 CD Burner. It's an IDE version with 2 MB cache.
I haven't heard much about ACER burners. How good / reliable are they?

I've an acer 24x cdrom I got 2 years ago.
Works great, still chuggling along.
This one's made from Japan I believe.

*Made in Japan/Canada/USA/Germany" - that's what counts. I tend to believe that products coming from these countries are of high quality.

*Made in Mexico/Vietnam/Hong Kong* - that's buyer beware (caveat emptor).

That's just my opinion.

One warning though - make sure you don't get a drive that has slow spin-up speed as my RICOH 6x/4x/24x burner. The initial motor spin-up speed is terrible, about 10-15 seconds. So watch out!

I bought a 4x4x32 Acer burner at the after Thanksgiving day sale for $100 new! I think it is a great burner. read this before you buy one though. Might save you a few bucks. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/Forum10/HTML/000351.html

Never had a problem with my 6206a. It's alittle slow seeing as it's a x2x2x6, but it's never failed me. Besides, it's cheap.

6206a here as well and it works like a charm.
