PC Stats has posted a MSI CR52-A2 52x24x52x CD-RW review



In our ever unquenchable need for speed and performance, CD writers have gotten so fast that that their CD-ROM/DVD-ROM's counterparts cannot keep up! Unless you have a True-X based CD-ROM, there's no way you're going to be able to do a 52x CD to CD burn on the fly. While MSI has been in producing various computer components for a very long time now, they're still relative newbies in the optical storage market. Of course MSI has not forgotten what has made such a successful company, their CR52-A2 52x24x52 CD-RW offers value in the form of a retail price of $85 CDN ($60 US). The MSI 52x24x52 CD-RW obviously offers 52x speed write, 24x rewrite (24x media is almost impossible to find though) and 52x read which is comparable to other 52x CD-RW's currently being marketed. The writer boasts a 2MB buffer, but with BURN-proof (Buffer Under RuN) technology, you really don't need to worry about buffer size as much as in the past. The front bezel is snow white in colour rather then the ugly "pre beige" some other manufacturers use.
