Harry, I'm glad you are happy, but the last BTC optical drive I used lasted a whole 3 months. That's not a brand I'd recommend to anyone.

You paid $40 for an offbrand on sale, and that *is* a nice price for an 8x single layer burner. For less than $70 you can get a known quality brand drive that records DVD's at 16x, CD's at 48x, and is dual layer capable. Maybe you don't want to pay a premium for the 16x or the dual layer media now, but you will have the ability to do so when the prices come down.
