As I mentioned in the PCRW3210 part, all properties of the Philips and TDK drives are identical. However, the CyClone makes less noise.

The design of the drive hasn't changed since first CyClones. Only the tray now is blue instead of white and the speeds (32/10/40x) are indicated below.

The drive can be installed both in the vertical and horizontal positions. For this there are two spring clips. The rear panel contains a working Digital Audio Connector.
