A CD Writer of any kind will always be inherently slower than any CD
reader because the heads are so much heavier that the response time
suffers. A CD ROM drive is so cheap now that having two drives will
always be the best option.

Not at all. The Teac 4x4x32 CD re-writer is the most stable and
consistent drive I have found and that is very cheap. You could always
buy one of the burn proof drives if you are feeling rich but the more
expensive CD-Rewriters these days tend to be the faster ones and the
media that can cope with the faster speeds is more e3xpensive and harder
to come by.
