BTY : the Hi-val and Digital Research brands are owned by I/O Magic and they sell the same rebadged drives under all three names, so most of the drive will be Benq/Acer drives and some will be mfg'd by AOpen or the hated BTC drives, (if your drive says mfg'd by Top Glory, it a BTC )
If I remember right most of the 24x Pacific Digital drive were rebadged Cryber drives and a few were Acer's and BTC mfg'd drives.
becuz mail in rebates are the biggest pain in the nutsack marketing goose chase. i just like the out the door price but i have in the past gotten in on ur killer cdrw threads... i love u man!!!
EDIT - btw, why r they btc's so bad? i was poking around the DR website... it mentions nothing about buffer protection.
