Lol it says

I]Use the drive to create, share, and store data, photos, music, and more on high capacity CDs. Includes software to get you started burning CDs right away.[/i]

I like it though....I am going to get 2 for birthday gifts for friends. They don't know or care about speed.

status: CBO - item in backorder

and considering HP exited the cd-rw market last year, they wont be making more of these...

 

[birddog]

I just went through & ordered and did not get any notice that it is out of stock or back ordered. I have 2 confirmation E-mails on my order. The first confirmed my order & the 2nd states that my order has been sent to the delivery center. 'XFreebie', did you get a third E-mail telling you that it is back ordered, or did you get it on the site? I have not recieved any notice that it is backordered.

 

[XFreebie]

on the checkout page it'll say either CBO or OPN. OPN means its in stock and ready to ship next day and CBO means its backordered. i remember this cuz of that iomega deal last year and it was CBO and never got it. i also used a $25 off coupon on the iomega deal and they sent me the stuff i bought to get it over $100 but they didnt send me the 2 iomega drives and they charged me w/o applying the coupon

i had a hp 8x burner...there was software out there if you had the right serial #s on the drive that you could change it to a 10x....was some firmware hack! cant remember the details....sorry guyz!

 

[birddog]

I got 'OPN' on my checkout. They must have them back in stock (or it is a regional thing -- some areas have them, others do not).

 

[ken2001]

I think you can get a 16X for around $50, so for $15 more, double the speed!

 

[Salvador]

I wouldn't bother with a 8x at this point either. I just replaced this very drive with a 24x Liteon and what a world of difference. Not only can I burn in half the time, I have burn-proof and I can make copies of stuff that I couldn't make with the HP using Clone CD.

How do I get a new customer discount?
can you email me to JBLee@unity.ncsu.edu ?

 

[ChurchOfSubgenius]

Yes, I agree about the Lite-on, but some folks don't want to wait (or refuse to deal with) rebates required to get the drive at that price, and we all know you can get at least $40.00 for the second drive on Ebay so I would still call this a hot deal (for some)

 

[blueribb]

CompUSA has 24X burners this week for $49 after MIR. They have burn-proof technology too.

The old 8X HP's aren't worth it anymore

For all of you that want faster burners, I agree. I personally use and enjoy the deal I got on the Plextor 40x12x40. ($138 shipped)

But, if you are like me, and build numerous systems for next to nothing, you can't beat the deal. One thing to consider is the fact that now I can offer my residential customers a burner for not much more than they would pay for a regular cd-rom. . . And that, folks, is just the competitive edge I need with my cheapskate clientele.

 

[DAICA]

LOL you guys are ridiculous. 3 minutes of waiting for the cds to finish is too much of a hassle? When i was your age i had a 2X burner when it was twice as much as one of the most expensive 40X out now and it took me half an hr to burn one cd. LOL
this is a pretty descent deal for gifts or someone who just needs a burner and doesnt care too much about the speed.

good find

 

[ripthesystem]

I can't find the $25 off first order either..

somedays I feel like I'm blind

[MysticMan1]

Let me see $37.50 for a 8x4x32 or $45 for a 24x10x40 CD-RW? Mmmmmm! tough choose

 

[DealSpree]

Yeah I go the 24X CD-RW from OM for $45 AR, and $25 Coupon....

but this is good for no rebates involved..

 

[ripthesystem]

so... would any nice person like to point the blind man

<----------- that would be me

... to the $25 coupon? I'm still searching but the force isn't on my side today

ripthesystem

 

[noproblems]

I didn't tell you this ...but have you tried doing a search over at w&ww.fatwallet.com? or bensbargains.net?

 

[Aceman]

Good deal! Picked up one for my old man's computer and my 12yr old's computer

 

[Tung]

nice

 

[Thump553]

Warning to those of you thinking of picking these up for a cheap CDR in unsophisticated user's machine-this burner will not have burn-proof or anything like it, so they will end up making a lot of coasters. That feature alone is worth spending the $25 or so more to get a 24x burner.

I would also research who actually manufactured the drive. HP switched vendors a lot, but in that era they were using Sony mechanisms a lot-which had lots of problems with burning backups of copy protected discs.

Personally I'd spend the few extra bucks for a LiteOn 24x or 32x, probably at NewEgg. That's what I put in relative's computers and they are happy.

 

[Aceman]

I've never had a problem with any of my 5 previous HP CDRW drives. They all work(ed) great with CloneCD

 

[Salvador]

My Cendyne rebate took weeks to get. Pretty painless if you ask me. I've had burners all the way back to 2x as well and I can tell you a 24x burner makes a difference over a 8x. I used to have to just walk away from the computer before, but now I can continue to work on the computer with the burn proof and 4 minutes is MUCH better than 9.

I do agree with the fact about buying 2 and Ebaying one though. I just wouldn't want to have to use a 8x burner without burn proof again personally. Plus.. With the Liteon, I was able to burn a few things that I couldn't burn with my HP drive and it pretty much paid for itself if you know what I mean.
