Conclusion: I don't know how much of the burn stability is due to the hardware and how much due to Nero/Win2k, but suffice to say Aopen have put together a very solid package. As my tests illustrate you probably don't need Burnproof. I'm not saying I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't like to pay $250 for it. You aren't going to save yourself $250 in coasters by buying a Burnproof drive if you have a fast CPU and hard drive. And if you don't have a fast CPU or hard drive, you probably shouldn't be getting a 12x burner regardless. For those of you in the market for a fast yet cheap rewritable burner, I don't think you can go past this drive. Definite thumbs up all round.
