I just received this via email from Meritline. I really love this drive!

Not a bad deal. They also sell the 1670 for $41.99 plus shipping.
But the 1670 is nowhere near the leage of the 1650.
Completely different drives, different chipsets, one has RAM, you cannot compare the two drives, each has its own niche.
