Interested in hearing from those with experience with Philips 522 CDROM recorder. Am considering purchase of that unit for backing up large libraries of rendered animation image sequences. If you have comments on its reliability, ease of use, reliability of disks written with it, etc. I'd be grateful for your information about it. Thanks.

The Philips 522 is arguably the best recorder available in terms of reliability, compatibility (of media and software), ease of use (huge expandable buffer for use with just about any hard drive), and price/performance. I would recommend it above all others for the data archiving applications you described. We carry the Philips as well as all the other CD-Recorders available, but the Philips outsells overything else by 10 to 1. Please let me know if you need pricing or any additonal information.
