| Who makes the Pacific Digital "X-treme-8" 8x DVD Burner? I just picked up an external one at Staples on closeout, for $51(after using my $20 coupon I had with me). I thought it was too good of a price to pass up, and I can always sell it on Ebay, if its not a good drive. coadman |
| Pac Dig Mach 16 is the BenQ 1620. There was a sale last month for $50 (after coupon). |

| nu techs shouldn't be rebadged drives they are a new company started in silicon valley in 2003 and they manufacture, design, and test all of there own products ( my wife's cousin is a design engineer there is why i know this. He says they do not have rebadged products, but other companies do use there products i.e. I/O magic XXXX (as an example only) he said he can guarantee me they dont use rebadged but couldn't tell me who uses there stuff rebadged

| Hey 78hotrod, isn't the Nu Tech DDW-163 a rebadged Benq 1620? http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=122384 With most things made in China now there's probably not much difference :-) |
| Also I can verify for fact that Micro Advantage DVDRW 16X is repackage of "AOpen DUW1608/APP"). I have bought this drive today Sunday March 6, 05 from sale at Office Max for $39 flat with no rebate involve. |
| My Memorex DVD16+/-DL4RWnD2 is a rebadged NEC 3520A It is black and the front of the tray is Silver. It has a cool Blue LED. |
