Yahoo store -- anyone know of this place?

Does this disk get around the new "safe disk 2" technology too?

 

[gcy]

$30.00 cheaper than etrack.

looks like free shipping in the lower 48, that's pretty small

The company has no ratings in http://www.resellerratings.com/, so if you are concerned about the store, http://www.newegg.com has what looks like the same drive for just a few bucks more ($130 for OEM, $135 for Retail), also with free shipping; and Newegg rating is 6.1 out of 7.

No, they're rated on resellerratings.com as Elegant Shopping. I checked it yesterday, I think they had 4.1 out of 7.

I order from these guys frequently. They have never screwed me over.

newegg dropped their price to $120 still with free shipping.

Get in from Newegg here

I think I will order me one. Thanks.

Great deal

 

[jwestpfahl]

Nice deal with NewEgg dropping their price. I wonder what the Retail version has versus the OEM one.

 

[MIDIman]

Got the newegg - whats the difference between the OEM and retail? They both come with software

 

[Hgabriel]

Who cares. OEMs usually leave out the software or a couple free CDRs.

I checked pricewatch and the lowest price I could find was $129.

Let us thank Plextor for rebadging all the 12x burners.

 

[Malchior]

Just curious as to what software you get... sometimes the software is worth the few extra bucks... if it's just Adaptec, ick... I'll stick to my Nero thank you...
Also, is there any definite proof that this drive is a rebadged Plex? Could it be a Teac or Sanyo? Nice to know for sure... Lite-On isn't exactly a company with a great rep for quality...

 

[Hgabriel]

Who mentioned this drive was a rebadged plextor. Just buy it, find out. If it's not or you don't like it then return it.

 

[Ian@CDRlabs]

It's not a rebadged Plex, Sanyo, Teac or whatever.

Lite-On designs their own drives. Lite-On is the company that almost got sued by Sanyo because it failed the BURN-Proof authorization tests and they still went ahead and started selling the drives. And yes their quality sucks.. took em like 3 or 4 tries to pass the tests.

Personally I'd stay away from these drives. its one of those cases where you get what you pay for.

so has anyone found out who actually makes this yet?...taserT

 

[MIDIman]

Malchior - look at the links. Both of the newegg drives appear to include Adaptec's CD Creator, but the retail may inclued other things as well, who knows.

I still think this is a somewhat decent deal, even if its not a Plextor. If it works, it works.
