Iomega 4/4/24
Blazing at he speed of light.
Bought this when burners were a relatively new and quite expensive thing, still works though and suits my needs...

Lite-on 24x10x40x and an Iomega 8x4x32x. Like ktkendall, I bought the Iomega when burners were new...think i spent about $200 on it!

I've owned a Sony 8x4x32 (which died about 2 months ago :()
Now, I have a Memorex 52x24x52. ;)

I thought I may take the prize for the slowest still working CDRW with my Iomega 4/4/24

[homer15]

my other drive was an 8x12x i dunno know what... it stopped working out of nowhere.

[pam123]

QPC 24x10x40
More than fast enough for my needs but it's noisy.
At the moment I run it with XP's software and it's doing a decent job.

Those are probably the only 2x burners around that still work - they both were working when I pulled them and tossed them in the spare parts locker. 37 minutes to burn a CD - I'm glad those days are over.

[Tiretool]

Lite-On 48X12X48
and Lite-On 40X12X48

Excellent burners. Never make a coaster!

Maybe I can claim the prize for the slowest still in my PC and working CDRW....

Forgot one...

Some old Sony SCSI 2x CD-RW that someone gave me...it's not installed. Takes about 40 minutes to burn a full CD-R.

i remembered there is a way to see what your buring speed is at when u burn cds.....i mean nero shows exactly what is the speed when u r burning cds....i read it in this forum but i cant seem to find it....

it has something to do with the registry....any clue?

beta Iomega zip 650 at the blazingly fast speed of 4x4x24 (I think, but it might be a x12). I originally had it in a P1 at 166 mhz and did not feel it was worth replacing with a newer one when I had my box built. I obviously do not burn much. (now a P4 1.4 ghz)

In the parts I gave my wife for our first build she got a lite on 52x24x52, sounds like a turbine when spooling up, but it sure is fast
