Picked up one tonight at Costco for $135 (with $20 MIR for a final $115!). I know that Sanyo and LiteON make those burners, but I'd like to know which mine is.
I read that there's an "X" version and a "B" version, there may be a difference in faceplate colours (white or blue) and that the Sanyo boxes say "Burn-Proof", while the LiteONs say "Smart-Burn". Well, the picture on the box shows a blue face while this picture on the TDK site has a white face. (Another oddity is that the picture itself is called "24xveloCDbox_noburnproof.jpg" and it doesn't show ANY buffer-underrun label (beneath the "veloCD"). The page on "Failsafe Write Assurance" does NOT mention a specific technology.
My box says "Smart-BURN", the serial number on the box is B241040Axxxxxx and it was bulit Nov. 2001.
Aw jeez...it looks like the answer was on the bottom of the box!!!:|
:frown: In the trademark info, it says that "Smart-BURN" is a trademark of LiteON.
/me bangs head on desk
OK, is this the same as the LiteON 24/10/40s that are supposed to read everything well for copying? Anyone have this version of the TDK? How is it?
