Unlike most USB 2.0 CD-RW drives available via retail, each of the CenDyne USB 2.0 CD-RW drives come complete with a USB 2.0 adapter card, giving customers a complete solution. As a result, customers can easily connect the new USB 2.0 drives to their PC to immediately enjoy remarkably quick CD-RW recording supported by transfer speeds up to 40 times faster than USB 1.1 connections. The CenDyne 24x10x40, 16x10x40 and 12X10X32 USB 2.0 CD-RW drives come complete with everything necessary to begin recording CD's right away, including a USB 2.0 PCI host controller card, for a fast, easy connection to desktop computers. PC computer users can quickly burn, manage and store their music, video, photos and data with user-friendly software. PC users will enjoy the award winning Nero CD recording software, and In CD drag- and-drop packet writing software. The drive also comes with CD-R media, a USB 2.0 interface cable and an AC power cable, drivers and documentation.
