For anyone interested, this is the same inside as the Liteon 20A1P, and can be cross-flashed to that model.

That's a good deal considering it's free shipping

man too bad I need a SATA one

I like IDE but its being phased out so quickly I cannot justify getting stuck with another. Sorry I bought my last 2 ide HDs from mid last year. I suspect this is just the beginning of dumping old ide equip at firesale prices.

There is a Lite-On 20x SATA burner on their site for $27.99/shipped. That's a good price for a SATA burner. I don't use IDE burners on any current builds I do anymore.

think the sata version is a older hardware revision? i dunno

FWIW i had an optiarc crap out after about 5 months. Not at all a heavy user, maybe about 12 cd rips, a few game installs, and 20-30 burns on the thing. I ordered it as i was an NEC fan, but i think sony had the last laugh in the end.

Thanks. I was looking for one and got that one instead.
