I've had Benq, AOPEN, and Lite-on as rebadged units. The lite-on is by far the best drive of the three. I would not pay $ for the other two if I had the option of knowing before buying. Just my 2 cents.
Got this drive rebadged as a Ikebana retail kit about a couple of weeks back from outpost.com for about the same price after rebate. Flashed it to sony's dru 500a 2.0e f/w without a hiccup. All that I can say is that I'm very pleased with the performance of the drive.
Just got back from local C-USA, and they had their brand of 5 pack dvd-r on clearance for $9.99. Not as hot as their previous deal on these, (10 pack for $9.99) but not bad. I also hear of people getting these to burn a 2x.
gelos,
There's a possibility that you can get the retail sony for about $270-ish, before tax w/free shipping. It involves pm staples to buy.com and a coupon. Just be sure to use the aforementioned coupon before the pm.
Just got mine installed, very nervous about flashing tho! How many have flashed there's successfully?
I have everything to flash it, but just don't want to mess it up before I even use it.
