All TDK VeloCDs:

Main box: 52x24x48
Client box: 32x12x48
for spare build: 48x24x48

just got rid of all under 32x, except for an old HP 8100 4x.

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.

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.
