I got the BTC drive from Fry's on Black Friday, and so far I've had no major probs. I would be PISSED since CDRwin doesn't support it but luckily the latest Nero does everything I've thrown at it which makes me a happy camper. The only prob I've had is that it seems to be VEEEEEERY processor intensive as it takes 6-8 minutes to burn at 40x speed (burning on a p2/500) as it slows down my computer to a crawl. I might not be able to do anything when burning yet I'll take it anyday over my old crappy 6x Yamaha that'd underrun with coasters regularly. I wouldn't mind snagging a LiteOn (/w no AR BS) but everytime I attempt to get one in the area, it's sold out. That's what you get when you live in a tech-savvy area.
