Panasonic has a new REWRITEABLE CD-R drive called the Power Drive 2. Theere is
an external for about 850 and an internal for 775. Has anyone had any
experience of this thing? Are discs written with this thing readable in all CD
drives? Panasonic's number is 800-742-8086 .
William,
This drive is NOT CD-R in totality — it uses phase change technology, not
CD-Recordable. Panasonic is causing a lot of confusion with their advertising.
It will read CD-ROMs as well as its Phase Change media, but it doesn't write
CD-Rs, if I remember correctly. Please be aware also that phase change discs
can be overwritten only a limited number of times (about 100) before it "wears
out."
