Well i broke down and bought one a couple of weeks ago. Ive yet to make a successful burn with it though. Does it have to be on a 80pin ultra ide cable? One didn't come with it in the box. I get an error That says logical unit communication crc error (ultra-dma/32) (040803) when i do a nero cddvd speed test. Im at my wits end. This is really ticking me off.
