cc Cendyne (most are re-badged liteons YMMV) 40x12x48 $19.95 no MIR or Matching

[Subh2o]

Just stopped by my local CC. Saw this burner on two shelfs, one at $79 the other at $19.95.

Figured I would bring it up and then have the "pricing mistake" to deal with, but nope it rang at $19.95

Not the fastest in the world but for twenty bucks and no rebates to deal with it works for me.

Now to pull out my old panasonic burner.

BTY it comes w/ a copy of NERO but is labeled for the burner it came with only.


Edit- this is working out for folks, most everyone getting Lite-Ons!

Does it say "burnproof" anywhere on the outside of the box?

 

[Subh2o]

yes it does. It's a red box

What is the significance of burnproof?- i haven't researched the drive yet to see what it is.

 

[DrPizza]

burnproof = lite-on (I think, been a little while since I had to search the serial numbers and boxes)

Gives your burner a little give, if the buffer runs dry for wahtever reason, it can slow(maybe even stop) the burn process and wait for it to fill back up

Thanks

Anyone see this anywhere else? A YMMV tag might be in order..but hopefully not

 

[bbrontosaurus]

Does anyone know if this is a nationwide thing, or a big YMMV?

 

[weirdichi]

I just went out to get one (three left in Brooklyn Center, MN) and it has on there BurnProtection Technology. Not the same thing as BurnProof I assume, so it's not a Lite-On? I don't wanna open it up just yet to check a model number. On the box on the back it has Part #CDCICD00117 and a serial and UPC number. Can I tell from any of those? Has Nero Burning Rom on the outside also.

**UPDATE**
Opened up the box and it was a Lite-On, model LTR-40125S.

**UDATE II**
Went back to CC and bought all three.

 

[Subh2o]

CC part # CDN CDICD00117

Under MDSE DESC: Consumer Electronics/Home office

Hopefully this is nation wide!

 

[Subh2o]

Thanks, i left the box in the car so slipped on the burn proof vs "burn protection tech"

I assume it was $19.95 in MN?

I'm going to give my CC a call..update in a minute.

Edit: Apparently they don't carry it. Glad I didn't drive all the way out there for nothing...lol

 

[weirdichi]

Yeah, it's $19.95 in MN here also. Does CC have a restocking fee? I don't wanna open it up and find out it's a crap drive.

IIRC, Cendyne & BUSLink = Lite-On.

 

[weirdichi]

Ok, I opened mine up and the model number is LTR-40125S. I'm a happy camper! Maybe I'll go back and get the rest of those burners.

This drive is identical with the MSI model CR40-A2 (MS-8340S), and you can burn the MSI firmware to it, making it much more reliable. This made a big difference for me. I burned the 1.20D firmware, and all functions of the drive work just great. This drive now reports as an MSI as well. Of course, you know it's a risk and I don't guarantee it works for you. The newer firmware made my drive compatible with my cheapo AT&T 40x CD-Rs, among others.

CC doesn't have this deal at my location, in the Puget Sound area.

 

[Bookmage]

CC has no restocking fee and 14 day return on computer related products.
