Why don't you get the NEC? We've been recommending it for quite some time.

yeah, I know, and had considered it, but.....
my best results in the past had been with a Liteon
(CDRW, not DVDRW, but I guess I just have to try it)

the HP is a re-badged NEC (2500a)
maybe that fact made my wary of getting another?

I do think though that HP fucked it up in one way or another,
so I can't really say that I blame NEC

and....I will be buying another RW,
perhaps it will be the 3550, unless the Liteon really impresses me,
or I have oodles of cash to spare for a Plextor


here's the Liteon, fresh out of the box....



btw, anyone have a clue as to why my IDE channels read wrong?
channels 1:2 and 1:3? what the hell? should be 1:0 and 1:1
I'm thinking it's because of old virtual drives, but that's just a guess.....
