i dont know anything about cd writers such as which companies make which ones... is io magic a big company or do they sell other companies products? (is this a plextor or lite-on or something?)

I used to have a I/O Magic 52x CD-ROM drive.
It worked ok but the disk spun so fast it became rather loud.

its a pretty good drive. i have a few i/o magics, and have had no problems with any of them

I had an IO Magic cdrom. It was loud, and right after the year mark, it started giving me problems and died. I believe they make their own drives. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i believe the one I got was a BenQ

How many of your folks actually get your Mail in Rebates? I know I dont get them half of the time.

IOMagic is one of the worse when it comes to Rebate. I got all of mine but more than likely it involved a phone call to straighten it out.

i'm guessing that they dont rebadge lite-ons?

OM will have the Cendyne(Liteon) for $19.99 after $30 rebate on saturday the 12th

i got this drive last week...i know its not a rebadge but i dont know who makes it (some random manufacturer)...

i got it for ~$47 before rebates....if the $20 and $30 rebates ever come that I'm mailing out, I will have gotten the drive for free after rebates (make like 30 cents after taxes)

drive works great btw

online? in-stores?

my buslink (dunno what it really is) is terribly loud. i had a lite-on that i sent in for an rma that apparently got "lost," even though tracking shows that it arrived
