New Iomega super drive

[dolphinius_rex]

is the new Iomega super drive just an OEM of the LG GMA-4040B?

Judging by the specs, it does sound like it.

btw.. I'm moving this thread.

Not too impressed. DVD-RAM is nice I guess but the speeds aren't where I hoped they would be.

Sounds kinda neat to me... and it looks like a Ricoh drive..? With the eject button...

I already have a DRU500, so there's not really any reason for me to jump, but I do like the idea of 9.4GB DVD-RAM discs for backup!
