CDRinfo has reviewed MSI's XA52P, a state-of-the-art SATA CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.

"Finally we reached the point when optical drives cannot be much faster, regarding to the reading speed as well as the recording speed. Producers try to make their drives more attractive in different ways. Drives looks nicer and nicer, they are colorful etc. Many producers started to combine their optical drives with other devices like for example flash memory card readers. MSI offers something absolutely fresh: MSI XA52P - first in the market drive with a Serial-ATA interface. For quite a long time we have been able to buy hard disk drives, but just from now on, we have the possibility to get rid of those wide stripes of IDE interface from our PC machines. We had the possibility to test MSI XA52P S-ATA drive in our lab. Here we present our reviews."
