SONY DRU810A DL DVD+/-RW (rebadged BenQ DW1640) - $39.99 after $20 MIR

Do note that more recent versions of this drive have been DW1650s. If the sticker on the drive says "DRU810-R, it's a DW1650. I'm just saying this so people don't end up flashing their drives with the wrong firmware

Maxtor got bought out by Seagate earilier this year. From all the sales, it looks like they are trying to liquidate all the old Maxtor product. They are excellent hard drives, and its a good time to get one.

Sony 16x DVD+or-R, 50 for $13.


CompUSA
October 8th. & 9th.
100- 52x CD-R for $13. I'm not sure what's on the spindle. The ad pic doesn't have a label but the SKU number matches TDK media..

I lied about not posting any items with a rebate,
Mad Dog 18x Triple Format external w/USB & Firewire- $80 after $20 rebate. $20 cheaper than the MadDog at CompUSA (after rebate) but this unit doesn't have the lightscribe feature.

Office Depot 2.4x DVD+R DL, 25 for $40.

Anyone know who makes these?

[Dartman]

I think they are Ritek Ian, ICK!

[Ian]

Darn.. was hoping they'd be CMC or something.

[Dartman]

I haven't actually bought any myself but I'm pretty sure that's what everyone at Freaks claimed they'd gotten. I still have a few of the 25 pack memorex ones I got and the only drive that makes working disks with them for me is my 111. And 2.4 is so SLOW.
