Please, spare me your "I hate rebate" flames... It seemed cheap to me, and I thought others might appreciate it

It is only 2x write on DVD-r, just pointing it out. Will take about 40 minutes to write 4.5GB disk.

Seems like a decent drive. Yes most of the inexpensive ones are slow. I'm tempted. If Buy.com does another one of those $20 discounts like they had on 9/9, before the rebate period is up, I will probably do it!

Tiger Direct has the NEC ND-1100A DVD+R/RW 4x drive for $99.97

OEM version, no software (like Nero or EasyCD). I bought one (at a higher price) and it seems fine so far.......


I'm a little concerned about the lack of support. NEC says to go though your dealer, like TigerDirect will provide firmware upgrades!

 

[plyons10]

Can't you just download the firmware from NEC?

 

[davebert]

nope - their web site says they do not provide direct support for end users
