I have a Memorex cr-622 this is not the CDRW unit but I have had nothing
but problems. This is my second unit. As far as I can tell Memorex
doesn't have a web site either.
I have no info on the Hi-Val but after what I have gone through time and
Cd wise, I am going to get a HP or Sony.

The Sony 928 is fine.

i got memorex 1622 cdrw for $299, work real well no error so far (over
10 cds , data and cda). media for cdrw cost around $97 for 10 cds
(search for ESP, it will guide you to vendor had cdrw media for under
$10.)
memorex also had multi-read cdrom and it read cdrw media disk like
cdrw
I haven't had any problems with the Sony drive writing data CD's (reading them
back on one of my drives did give me a problem with one file but that was a
problem with the reader, it was written at 2x also). Haven't written any audio
disks yet with it though.
The Sony drive also only does Track at once writes, I believe (which can affect
Audio CDs, so I am told). I've read both good and bad reports that the drive
can actually write an Audio CD fine (without the usually a slight "pop" sound
is heard between tracks due to TAO recording).
Hope that helps

Last I heard, Sony had dropped DAO from its drives, which would keep me
from recommending it.

Who needs DAO?! Not me.
To each their own.
SCSI has advantages and EIDE also has advantages.
It's a comprehensive decision of money, and features. Make your
pick.
