"The specifications look quite impressive but what are they like in the real world? I found that the drive is quite capable of Burning at 16X (with 16X capable CD-R disks), however burning CD to CD anything higher than 8X resulted in “Coasters”. I was able to burn audio CDs at 16X if I copied the disk to the hard drive first but CD to CD was only successful at 8X and below. I also tried burning with the popular Nero Burning ROM and the results were similar."
