Rewrite speed is for rewritable discs as in DVD+RW, CD-RW discs. The ones you can erase.
I don't have that drive but i've read people like it fine.

review from CDFreaks about but I am not really that concerned since these drive can go fro even less that $30 these days so is not a big deal. As rolling has mentioned the drive from Samsung is good you can probably read some
