Thought this was a hot deal for my first post. Also should mention free shipping. BB is selling the retail version for $87.99.

[Troy S]

Nice find. I wish it came in a retail package with a white/beige faceplate too like the Lite-On does. But the Lite-On does not come with lightscribe.

 

[AmphibSailor]

I'm in for one....Thanks!

It seems like a good deal but:

Does Samsung make their own drives or is this a re-badge?

Is this like the Plextor SATA burners that were actually IDE with a SATA converter/bridge attached to the back? I heard those were kinda flaky.

 

[techman81]

I may be mistaken but I believe Samsung makes all of their own drives. From pictures of the rear of the drive their are no converter/bridge adapters.

current drives are identified as "TSST" drives, stands for Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology

Doh! Out of stock! I've been looking for a SATA burner too!

Didn't think they would last long at that price. Sign up for email alert, I'm sure they'll get more in soon.
