Same thing in beige, $69.99.
Newegg have now stopped selling the 3500 in favour of this.
Personal experience:
- problems with Sony DRU500
- perfect burning with NEC 3500

LOL if you do some research you will realize that out of the 4 top drives on that list 3 are made by liteon.Sony=rebadged liteon..Memorex=rebadged liteon..As a liteon owner I would say get the nec its getting great reviews.The liteon is nice but it can be finicky with the media it burns.It likes high quality dvd+ media and doesn't like dvd- media much....

Good thing I bought the nec 3500 on time at newegg.com. Haven't tried it yet because i had to get a cpu replaced. But let's just hope it works

Lee... go with the one above. I was asking about burners a couple months ago, and I was given info about he NECs vs. any others and I did see the Songy DRUs relatively inexpensive at the time... and I did buy it, and then returned it after I made a post.
I bought the one above on newegg for 70 bucks U.S. and prices are dropping.
Good luck on your new purchase... I thoroughly enjoy mine.
BTW thanks everyone for the great info. If it breaks you will here from me heheehehe

mine will be arriving tomorrow. I chose the 3520A over the 3500A because the 3520 burns dual layer DVD + and - and the 3500 only + (this is for dual layer.)I bought a NEC 3520 today.
