Nice deal. Is there a rebate on the 16x/10x/40x too? I had a defective burner (different type-external) I am exchanging for the velo 16/10/40 since I decided to remove a drive and replace it internally. Got it for 149.99...
Just a note on this drive.. TDK has switched to using Ricoh drives as their OEM source on the 12x veloCD's.
The older ones that say BURN-Proof on the box are Plextor's.. the new ones say JustLink and are Ricoh drives. There was some time in the middle when they were shipping Ricoh's with BURN-Proof on the box...
Just warning you guys. Personally I think the Ricoh is a better drive.
If you're willing to buy a back-ordered drive, why not get the Iomega 16x from buy.com. It's the same hardware as the Plextor. It cost $200.95, before a $20/$200 buy.com coupon and a $50 MIR from Iomega putting it at <$140 with shipping. Only thing is the $20 off coupon expires today.
Just FYI,
D.
<< Make sure the CDRW box says "burnproof" and the model number is 121032 and not 121032A. If it has the A, it means it's a rebadge of the Ricoh instead of Plextor. >>
Is the Ricoh version the 7120A or the one with Ricoh's equivalent to Burnproof, called Justlink, the 7125 (newegg.com sells the latter as an Aopen for about $100).
