Is it SD2 compatible ?

It’s not for sure, but I don’t think so - therefor it should be able to read/write subchannels accurately (important for NEW SecuRom) and it extracts Audio-CD’s extremely faaaaaast! It’s much cheaper than the Plextor drive and has the same features - so decide yourself. I already ordered one of this drives for testing-purposes.:4

Hi! Finally you can get this burner cheaper here in germany, check www.snogard.de, but anyway, this recorder is great, but cant handle sd2. Only those cheap phillips recorders and other cheap recorders can handle sd2 perfectly, quite bizarre, but look at the sd2 compatible recorder list. Yeah, i know, some plextor recorders can handle it, too, but mainly cheap one, no new and fast one. Hope the burners in the future will handle that. CYA!

FAST ONE?, I’m sorry but I thought burning one in 9 mins (8x) is quiet fast, Oh I forgot, you need that extra 3-5 minutes to do something important?
