(Dead)CenDyne "32x12x40" (Lite-ons & Mitsumi 16BM buffer) "$64.99" AR & coupon or $34.99 w/successful PM at OfficeMax

[cejay]

2 things I have noticed about this 32x lite-on drive :

Nero (package with it) won't burn TAO (track at once) with a bin/cue file (but works fine with DAO/96,etc)


CDRWIN 4.0 or any version ONLY sees this drive as a READER and not a RECORDER (Says
no cd drive installed etc when going to recorder info tab)

NERO sees in fine, but CDRWIN doesn't.. dang, I used CDRWIN alot.. anyone else
have this problem?

I have written Goldenhawk (cdrwin) company and am awaiting a reply.
Their website says ALL lite-on drives are supported. I previously had a 12x
Iomega and it worked FINE with this same copy of CDRWIN.

Also saw a post that the Polaroid 32x12x40 is going to be on Officemax.com website for 4/21 sale

129$ - 30 instant then (25 off 100 coupon) and 30$ rebate.. = 44$ after all is said and done.

WHO really makes the Polaroid drive and is it worth a crap? IS it better than the Lite-on
thats was 55$ after rebate...trying to decide whether to take mine back and get the Polaroid.
(havent sent in rebate yet)

i read that the polaroid drives are pure crap.
there was another thread about them, i suggest you search for that thread,
everyone in it sounded really angry

Cejay:

If you are using CDRWin to burn bin/cue files, try using Fireburner. It works fine with the Verbatim/Liteon 32x. After using it for a little while, I think its interface is more intuitive than CDRWin's, esp. CDRWin 5.

Regardless, whether the polaroid drives are crap or not....Polaroid had gone out of business so I wouldn't touch one of their drives with a 10 foot poll.:Q:frown:

FYI: Obviously polaroid has not gone out of business.

I just read an article in the paper like last week, it said bankrupt....either way, bankrupt or oob, I'd not want to buy a product, with iffy chances like that.

 

[MysticMan1]

That was last year not last week.

Would someone mind posting the UPC for the 32X drive? I got a you didnt include the UPC postcard from Cendyne (^%^%$^%^%) and I know I did. I have a scan of what I sent and I want to check the # against it.

Thx

The article was last week and it spoke about Polaroid being bankrupt, now


Don't shoot the messenger if you don't like the message.... it was in one of the big trade mags.

Update : The rebate on the CenDyne 32 drive has been increased from $30 to $40, so the 32x drive is now selling for $64.94 after $40 rebate and $25 off $100 coupon.

Also Staples has the 32x CenDyne on sale for $99.94, so if you can find a manager who doesn't know the OfficeMax PM rules it could be possible to PM the Staples price and get it for $30 cheaper.

Crap, this is the wrong thread. Oops. Refer to the Cendyne 32X for $44.99 one. I was going to bump that one but I bumped this on accident! ahh. Sorry.
