CRX140E CD Writer Review
Written : 8/14/2000
Written by: Moto®
Price: $188.95
Manufacturer: Sony
The Sony CRX140E
is an 8X CD writer from the people who invented the CD ROM. Sony
is well known in the recording media. Besides co-inventing the CD and
DVD format, Sony was also the company that try to tell us that
Beta was better than VHS. Well, two out of three is not bad. :)
The Sony CRX140E
we had for testing came in a plain brown box. Inside, you'll find
the CD writer, a CD-R disc, a CD ReWritable disc, a manual, a quick
start guide, warranty card,
software CD and an application for a Sony Visa (I'm sure we all
need one of those).
I personally love
CD Writers. They're a great way to back up large files and
computer games. With each disk able to hold 650 Megs of data, I
can pretty much back up all my important stuff onto one CD. One
CD-R can hold up to 74 minutes of music or up to 160 average length
MP3s. That should ensure a no repeat: work day.
The new Sony
CRX140E can burn a CD 8 times faster than my original burner, an
HP 1X unit. At just $189, the Sony CRX140E offers great
performance and value in an easy-to-install internal IDE drive.
It's a nice easy way to save data, photos, music, etc.. The Sony
CRX140E has a
fast 8x Write, 4x ReWrite and 32x Read speed. This ranks it among
the fastest CD Writers on the market. Some of the highlights of
this CD burner include:
- High
Performance CD Recorder Internal Upgrade Kit
- 8X Recording
(CD-R), 4X Recording (CD-RW), 32X Reading (Max.)
- SCSI-2
Interface for High Performance
- Records All
Popular CD Formats
- Includes CD
Complete Pro™ Software Suite
The CRX140E is
a very complete recording system. Everything you need to
create your own CD is included. Well, everything but the CD Label
creator, which is available with the HP
9100. Software wise, you get a copy of Adaptec Direct CD,
Adaptec Easy CD Creator. These programs allow you to record pretty
much anything you want, including turning your MP3 to CD music
format for playing in your car.
