Documented specifications

Subcategory	CD-R and CD-RW drives
Exact model	CRW2200E
CD-R write	20×
CD-RW rewrite	10×
CD-ROM / CD read	40×
Recorded/read formats	Records CD-R and CD-RW; reads CD-ROM and standard compact-disc audio/data formats. Supported recording media include 12 cm and 8 cm CD-R/RW where the disc and tray are compatible; avoid assuming every nonstandard or copy-protected disc is supported.
Recording modes	Disc-at-Once, Track-at-Once, Session-at-Once and packet writing; MultiRead support is described in the model manual. Authoring application and media determine which modes are usable.
Interface / mechanics	Internal E-IDE/ATAPI, 5.25-inch half-height. Connect to a compatible ATA channel; set the device position and cable per the Yamaha installation instructions.
Host and operating-system compatibility	Requires an ATAPI-capable host, operating-system optical driver and recording application. Period Yamaha software targets legacy desktop OS releases; on newer systems verify the software separately. Interface visibility alone does not establish support for old packet-writing or audio applications.
Firmware / revision notes	Use only CRW2200E firmware matched to the exact revision/region; do not apply CRW2200SX or CRW2200S images. Yamaha’s manual treats maximum rates as media/mode dependent; record firmware and media type when benchmarking or preserving a burn.

Compatibility & preservation notes

Requires an ATAPI-capable host, operating-system optical driver and recording application. Period Yamaha software targets legacy desktop OS releases; on newer systems verify the software separately. Interface visibility alone does not establish support for old packet-writing or audio applications.
Use only CRW2200E firmware matched to the exact revision/region; do not apply CRW2200SX or CRW2200S images. Yamaha’s manual treats maximum rates as media/mode dependent; record firmware and media type when benchmarking or preserving a burn.
For an imaging or recording session, log the exact drive and firmware, interface/controller, operating system, application version, media identifier, selected mode and any read/verification errors. Keep checksummed image copies and logs.
Handle discs at the edge or center hole and store in cases in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid adhesive labels, abrasive cleaning and undocumented solvents or polishing.

Read support is not write support. A format listed for this drive does not guarantee every disc revision or copy-protection scheme will work.
