For some reason during down-time today I found myself surfing the Comp-USA website. Please feel free to make fun of me since I probably think that place is lamer than you. Now I stumbled across some cd-rw ide drives 40x12x48 for 19.99? (with a mail-in $35 rebate) Universal Buslink is the company and I have never heard of them. Sounds fishy, but here is my reasoning for considering such drives. I have older dual 800mhz pentium3 rig that has gone unused for quite a while and I was having thoughts of maybe buying lots of these just to burn copies for dudes to take home at the end of the night. I have a current set-up that can burn three cd's simultaneously but only at 16x. If these suckers actually work I'd buy a slew of them and save a few as backups. It would save me a shitload of time at the end of a session for burning reference copies. I would never use these for anything else but for burning reference copies. Nubs prefers Yamaha drives seeing as I've been using them since the 80's and have never had one fail. But jeez, $20 a peice? Are they complete peices of shit?
 
...that's why you're here nubz.

...to check those shits out, right ? :D
 
The bundled software and drivers are the weak point about these budget drives. Finding software that will work well with them may be difficult.
 
aaah, jakey does love nubs. is this the start of a new friendship? dinner perhaps? nubby looks pretty good after you've had about six or seven drinks. yeah I was hoping somebody might know something about these drives offhand since I don't want to spend time researching. Probably would be non-functional with cd architect, wavelab, saw, etc. the thing that piqued my interested is they come bundled with Nero and I know the most recent versions of Nero support multiple drives. Sometimes you get lucky and offbrand drives like this are actually decent drives repackaged under another name. shit you'd think by now I would have learned the meaning of the phrase "if it's to good to be true . . . ." what can I say, I'm a cheap Jew.
