[CHAOSMAN]

not sure if this has been posted but Bestbuy has the drive for $179! originally i said there was a $30 rebate for this but it expired, guess i was so excited i didnt bother to check the date =) Trying to look for a place where i can PM and use a coupon if anyone has luck let me know!

Hey, this looks like a good deal, but is the drive burn proof?

Dang it--not at Staples.com .

Good heads up, Chaosman.

The box on the link says, "12x4x32x--not 10x rewritable.

Site now says: "Sorry, no longer taking orders for this item
Not available for store pick-up". BTW, I bought one of these drives and it is a Sanyo with burn-proof. There is no rebate for the 12x4x32.

 

These drives have burn proof.
Look at the older threads on this drive, and the 10x rewrite.
Extensive threads, covering everything ya need to know

It's not at staples.com but it IS at some of the Staples B&M stores, so you may be able to pricematch it in a store and use a $25 off $100 or $20 off $100 in-store coupon. Why did BestBuy.com have to sell out of these?!?!? grrrrr.....

BTW, the 12x10x32 Iomega drive is a Plextor.

Is this 12X4X32X Iomega compatible for Safedisk 1 and safedisk 2 backups with CloneCD?

How does it compare to the Plextor 12/10/32?

Thanks!

The 12x4x32(with the firmware upgrade) supports DAO raw writing but I don't think it will read subchannel data. It's great if you combine it with a CD-ROM that reads subchannel.
