Toshiba 16X DVD 48X CDRom 33.00

Toshiba DVD drives are very quiet and reliable. They read data CDs between 32-35x without that annoying jet-engine noise. Unfortunately I think on this model (SD-M1502) the DAE is limited to 11-12x and the DVD rip speed is limited to 2x. I have the 12x Toshiba and it is 9x DAE/9x DVD rip. The quality of the rips are very good though, it usually reads error-free in EAC.
 
Here is the same drive from the same company for $42.95 shipped and you will save more on shipping if you order than one. Access Micro and McGlen Micro are the same company. I have ordered from both and the billing is the same. Access has lower prices but higher shipping. I found it much cheaper to order from McGlen when ordering several sticks of memory. I have had good service from both companies.

Toshiba at McGlen Micro

Only a few dollars saving, but every dollars helps.

According to CDRlabs.com
The Lite-on LTD163 transfers data at ~38x on average and 50X max. The Toshiba M1612 transfers data at ~36X average and 47X max.
The DAE of the Lite-on is 35X average and 49X max.Tthe Toshiba is 22X average and 30X max.
They give the Lite-on a 10/10 for performance and the Toshiba 8/10 for performance.
Both drive are given a 9/10 overall rating.
Here are the links:
Lite-on LTD163
Toshiba M1612

If you look at the Toshiba review, the Lite-on LTD163 numbers are compared side by side.
 
yup $46 is still a nice price... and who cares about stealing threads/info or reposts? I dont check other sites, and I dont check this forum every 10 minutes so I always miss original deal posts. Reposts are fine in my book. Thanks Joker
 
Does anyone know if an Amex PM would work for this drive, onto the one that Newegg has for sale for $56 after S&H?

Couldn't find a direct link to it - but go to http://www.newegg.com and search for SD-M1612

If that's the case - it would be $46.95 - $15 = $31.95 - not too shabby, right?

(please correct my PM math if I'm mistaken - I'm new at PM'ing with Amex).

Edit: Duh! Not even a second after pressing submit, I knew this was wrong - should've been:

$48.95 - $33 = $15.95 back in PM, making the total..

$56.95 - $15.95 = $41

still, not too bad - my question being - would they PM these two, since there's a small difference in part numbers (although the drive's the same, both the OEM version, not retail, and same manufacturer and bundle).
