I'm looking at getting a Clubmac Firewire CDRW and was just wondering if they were any good?

Thanks

I got a SCSI one from them a long time ago and the thing was TERRIBLE, wouldn't burn, it's lock up the system. I know it was probably the SCSI but I won't buy anything with their name on it.

If you want a good CDRW, try APS (www.apstech.com), I just got a Firewire CDRW from them and it's been superb to this point. The first one had a bad fan but they promptly replaced that unit with a new one. The tech support at APS is superb though, it always has been.

I bought a CD-R from them awhile back, and it was sh!t. Coasters, and it frequently locked up my Mac. I think it was a Teac drive. Sent the piece of do-do back. From what I understand they get drives from who ever, and stick 'em in their own "Club Mac" case. You never really know what drive your getting, and neither do they. Of course that was awhile ago, so things might be different now, but I_don't_think_so.
