The Newegg buyer reviews are all pretty positive.

Most likely a SHM-165P6SX.

$30 is a bargain for this drive. Get it while you can.

Just bought one from office depot and can confirm that it is model SHM-165P6SX05C with a manufacture date of December 2006. As mentioned, it is just an external version of the drive discussed/reviewed in this thread: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=181658

SHM-165P6SX05C is the same model that I have. However, my manufacture date says September 2006.

Do the RPC and book type tools work with external drives, and can firmware updates be done on external drives? Pardon my ignorance, but external burners are new to me.
