That picture isnt a good indicator cause there are sku's for like 4 or 5 drives listed. All different resellers using multiple manufacturers. It's pretty much a crap shoot which drive you get.

clicking on the "printable list" button, i see the following listed:

Micro Advantage CDRW 52x24x52 Drive - 5232CDRW-B13 - 852855000083
Pacific Digital CD-RW Drive 52x24x52 - U-30146 - 644405301463
KHypermedia 52x24x52x CDRW - KHCRW522452 - 637668048114
Mad Dog - 52x24x52 CD-RW Drive - MD-52XCDR - 833054001521

does that mean the if i order it i might get any one of those 4 (randomly)?
or can i actually choose which one i order?

any idea who is the actual manufacturer of these 4 drives?

Ian,
i was typing while you posted :o
i guess you answered my question. it's random :(
too bad, won't take a chance on getting a Mad Dog and get suckered out of the rebate.

do you know who are the actual manufacturers?

Khypermedia has used Benq drives in the past I don't know if they have changed manufactures though.

Microadvantage uses BTC drives.

Pacific Digital uses BTC drives.

Mad Dog uses Artec drives also don't know if they have changed manufacures.
