It's easy to see why many have considered Yamaha to be the forefront innovators in the optical storage industry. Simply put, Yamaha have impressed us again - this time with the CRW-F1. Contrary to what many may consider as gimmicks, we felt that both the Advanced Audio Master Quality Recording and DiscT@2 are features that gives the CRW-F1 that little bit of X-Factor not found in other competitors' drives. Nobody would have thought that a CD-RW drive can now be used to "design & label" CD-R media.
