QPS is shipping three high-speed models of their new Que! 40x CD-RW drive: an external FireWire, a USB 2.0 for PCs, plus an internal ATAPI IDE model. Macs don’t come with USB 2.0 ports; for this, you’ll need a third-party PCI card.

The Que! CD Burner (40x CD-R, 12x CD-RW, 48x CD-ROM) can burn a 700MB disc in approximately 3.3 minutes for an 80 minute CD, according to the folks at QPS. The burners can also read/write data and/or record music on CD-R and CD-RW media, which can be played on most CD-ROM drives and CD players.
Que! CD Burners feature BURNProof buffer technology (with a minimum of 4MB of buffer RAM) that eliminates wasteful buffer underrun errors in fast write modes that can render CDs useless. Bundled software includes Charismac Software’s Discribe CD mastering tool for the Mac (with the FireWire model only). The manufacturers’ suggested retail price is US$299.99 for the FireWire drive, $249.99 for the USB 2.0, and $179.99 for the IDE model.
