[virtuamike]

Woohoo!! It's out! Not too bad of a price actually. I remember paying this much for my Teac 58s last year. $7 UPS shipping. Of course you can also get free shipping from hypermicro, go to storagereview.com for details.

On the left side under products click CD-R(W), then scroll the frame and you should see it. In stock too.

NECXDirect.com has the same drive for $255, and there's a $25.00 off coupon floating around

Around $240 final price with Ground Shipping ... Not too bad!

 

[Max Power]

Thanks virtuamike and LiQiCE, I just bought one from NECX(Gateway Store).

$255.95(DRIVE)+0.00(TAX--CA)+9.95(shipping)-$25.00(Instant Rebate Coupon)=$240.90.

I paid $242 for my 12/10/32x Plexwriter last October--would have been $218, but pointclick went under.


I swear, that's the last thing I am buying for awhile. Yeah, right.

 

[virtuamike]

Dang, I would buy from necx but I'm in CA so tax hurts.

 

[yodayoda]

buy.com is selling it for $258. is that $30 coupon still working? if it is, then it is $228 + salex tax + shipping.

Plextor 16x burner @ buy.com

Must resist!!!! I just got a Plextor 12/10/32A.

But I personally think that 12x and 16x recording isn't big of a deal.... but the 32 and 40 might damn.....

what you guys think?

 

[kendogg]

lundog22 i think you should save your money and keep your current burner... I dont know how much of a difference there is between a 40x and 32x, if any but I dont think you should use your burner for reading cd's because it wears out the laser. In my case I have a 48x cd rom and a Plexwriter 8x and I never use the plex to read cds..

my 2 cents

 

[Max Power]

virtuamike, I live in CA, no tax for me!

yodayoda, there aren't any buy.com coupons as of right now, plus there is tax for those of us in CA, around $17 bucks.

I think NECX has the cheapest prices(with the $25 coupon) right now. $240 shipped is a great price for that drive.

 

[lundog22]

Hehe KeNDoGG. thats what I was thinking too
Thanks

Wear out the lasers!!! I wouldn't worry about that! Your drive is much more likely to become obsolete and unuseable before anything on it wears out. Also the mechanical components are far more likely to fail before a laser gives way. Anybody who owns a Plextor shouldn't have to worry about failure.

My 4X Teac is still running fine after EIGHT years! Don't use it much any more though.

 

[RayEarth]

where's the $25 off coupon for necx?

 

[RiPPn]

is the tdk of the same speeds the same drive?

 

[kxy]

Is this really a good deal or should I wait?
And how long would I have to wait? Are the burners ever going to drop just like RAMs for the past few weeks?

I got a 2x burner that needs to be retired.

 

[lundog22]

kxy, the best deal right now are those 12/10/32. Plextor brand will cost a bit more then the others, I got my 12/10/32A for $170 shipped after PM & Coupon @ Staples.

 

[yodayoda]

hey, is nexcdirect another front-end for ingram-micro like buy.com and computers4sure.com? seems like nexcdirect has the exact same availablility and descriptions as the other two. one way to find out: when i order, does it come from fullerton, ca.

 

[kxy]

Maybe I will wait, kinda regret miss that TKD deal at buy.com with coupon and MIR.

 

[Str8UpKiller]

I'm waiting for the 20x12x40!

 

[Smbu]

I just wanted to let you know that if you order from hypermicro you can get free shipping on orders over $100 here. Hypermicro is an excellent company. I ordered my Plextor 40x max scsi cdrom from them and I had no problems at all. Excellent customer service. As for the deal, I think I'll stick w/my Plextor 12/10/32 scsi drive for now.

 

[LiQiCE]

Just got my Plextor 16/10/40A from necxdirect.com, burned a 78 minute CD in 5 minutes and 40 seconds! ... Gotta love that.

 

[lundog22]

hmm I burned my 74min CD using my Plextor 12/10/32A... get it done around the same time
