1 out of 5 stars Support?.......2002-10-17

I bought a QPS back in April, I had configuration issues right away.
I followed the tech support format and emailed them. Giving them benefit of possibly being busy or email issues I emailed four times over four weeks from seperate servers. They do not respond through support.
Now the hardware failed, I repeated the email attempts with no response and have phone support three times in two weeks to give up in Cue after 45 minutes.
Now I have a very high phone Bill coming and a useless QPS device that I will eat also.
Please don't allow companies like this to thrive, which they all too commonly do in todays market.
Buy elsewhere.

5 out of 5 stars finally... a reliable CD burner for Macintosh.......2001-09-25

What a great product! If you are a Mac user, and need a CD burner that will work... get this one and save yourself the trouble.

I previously owned the IOMega usb CD burner and had nothing but problems with it. I was intruiged by its bargain price... but like they say: "you get what you pay for".

I broke down and bought this burner, despite its price. I had heard from enough people that USB burners "just don't cut it - save yourself the trouble and buy FireWire". They were right. This burner has given me NO problems whatsoever. I have burned close to 100 CDs on it and not ruined a single one thanks to Que!Fire's burnproof technology. This is not to mention the fact that I can burn 80 minutes of music in 8 minutes with no lagging in the sound quality.

I might also note that this burner comes with a leather carrying case. I don't really plan on bringing my burner with me when I travel... so the case has in turn made for a fantastic toiletry case... a pocket for my razor, toothpaste, razor.......

5 out of 5 stars Reliable and Fast Burns for iMac / iBook.......2001-01-12

When I bought my iBook this fall, I decided to get this drive so I could burn CDs from both my iMac DV SE and the new iBook DV SE. The drive has proved very reliable and it has been a cinch to setup on whatever machine that has firewire. The included case is a nice touch, making it nicely portable so my friends can borrow the drive for their occasional backup or CD Mix that they want to create.

The only thing to be careful of is that you get media that is rated for high-speed burns. I tried to burn one of my first discs with some media that worked fine in my 2x SCSI burner on my PC, but it was only rated to 4x burns. Make sure that whatever media that you buy says 8x or more to prevent coaster creation. (This is something that I learned from my buddy who is a recording engineer and he burns about 20+ CDs a day.)

I haven't tried it on my PC (no firewire card there yet), but I would expect it to work nicely as I have a friend with this drive for his PC.

5 out of 5 stars Great drives, no problems.......2000-12-20

MacWorld recently gave this drive a great review in their Nov. 2000 issue. But I was really worried when I saw user's comments in the MacWorld forum. It seemed like almost everybody was having problems with QPS. Especially with customer service. I bought the drive anyway and it works great on my iMac DV. I didn't need to visit QPS's web site for drivers or call tech support. I was able to make a CD-RW backup of some of my important files and to my surprise I was able to burn an audio cd that worked flawlessly in my car's cd player. I used to use a Yamaha burner at work to make audio cds, but those cds worked intermittently. I am very happy with my QPS drive. I also bought the grape colored panels to match my iMac.

4 out of 5 stars Good drive, poor tech support.......2000-12-07

I've had the drive for over a month now, and have been very happy with it. Only one "coaster" but it was my own fault (improper memory settings on my part). Good basic software from Adaptec included, but I do wish there was a discount to upgrade to their Deluxe software. I use it with my iMac DV SE, and no connectivity problems whatsoever. It could benefit from a more stable base, the mini-legs are rather spindly, and the supplied foam stick-ons never stay where they're supposed to stay.

Rather unhappy with tech support, who has not responded to my simple queries about a supposed LED light on the front of the unit that is possibly malfunctioning. No returned e-mail, and no returned phone call.

Other than that minor problem, I've been happy. Now where's my rebate cheque???

        1 out of 5 stars It died.......2007-03-22

        I had 30 gigs of photos on it worth much more than the drive when it failed to respond to 3 different computers. It makes a humming and clicking sound. My very old Buslink still works. My more recent Buffalo works. No more Buslinks. I would suggest backing up on an adjacent computer or on an extra interior drive- things that can be fixed or salvaged by repair people.
