I ordered these two days ago and haven't received an out-of-stock e-mail, so I hope they come.

Looks like a great deal!

 

[cmv]

Javol! Looks great...

 

[Twioz]

Super deal! I can always use an extra cdrom drive and toshiba cdroms are some of the best.

 

[Slash3]

And in case anyone wants other choices:

Refurb Toshiba XM-6202B-S EIDE 32x CDROM for $16.42

Refurb Toshiba XM-6201F SCSI 32x CDROM for $32.82

I just hope these aren't orders for something like a 10 pack of faceplates.

I posted this deal and I wasn't going to buy any of these drives, but then I remembered a couple of family members are using old CD drives that won't read many CD-R disks.

 

[phoenixstar]

Thanks! Picked up 2 for the systems I am building for family members. Great deal!

 

[cmv]

I ended up getting a bunch of these... All these computers I have without cd-roms finally get ROMed! yahoOO!

 

[SimMike2]

Does Onvia have up-to-date stock status tied into their website?

 

[burnedout]

Good deal.

These are excellent. I purchased a 24X Toshiba IDE over 3 years ago and still use it with one of my Linux boxes. Reads cheapo CDs flawlessly. Never had a problem with it. Better than my Kenwood 52X reading burned CDs.

Thanks.

 

[snowbug]

Got one before it runs out, thanks!

Toshibas are great, they have good digital audio extraction and will read even the cheapest CD-r's!

 

[TriggerMan]

Fido, take a look at Toshiba site here.

 

[BeerHunter]

Thanks for the post.
A genuine deal!

I used to have the toshiba 32x 6202B but then it died after a few years. Let me warn you that this thing has fairly poor digital audio extraction (DAE). It will rip at up to 16x but it is flawed. The best it can do perfectly is 3.8x which sux since I have a 4x writer. I base this fact on using a "fc /b" file compare command on sequential rips. At high speeds, there are errors galore in addition to pops and hiccups. Other than the slow dae, it's a good drive.

It's a great deal and I'm gonna get one, but don't expect to copy audio at anything more than 2x. Hope this helps.

 

[Riprorin]

What's a better value - the 24x drive or the 32x drive?

 

[LedFusion]

This may be a dumb question, but what does "w/o MAN" mean?

 

[Riprorin]

I believe it means no manual.

 

[LedFusion]

oh. yeah I guess that should have been pretty obvious.

thanks tho.

Strange: The Toshiba 32X SCSI refurb is listed at Onvia as a "XM6201F". In the product archives at www.toshiba.com, they only list a SCSI "XM-6201B". Anyone know what the difference is between the "F" model and the "B" model - could be very important...

 

[dellwood1]

Does anyone know if this drive will read cdrw's?

 

[io331]

The 6202B read CD-RW's just fine I have a 2 year old one in my system...

As for DAE... I can pull at 8x just fine... The drive only shows as rated as 7x in most programs I have used....

these are perfect for that 166 or even that 486 sitting under the table in pieces. for $10 I can afford to stock a few for emergencies.
thanks for the post!
