Best Buy has them for $120 with a $20 mail in rebate. I just bought one, and it works pretty good, especially for $100. However, when burning CD's, the CPU sat at 100%. I finally figured out that DMA wasn't enabled for the drive. Hdparm -d1 /dev/hdd would give a permission denied error. I had to recompile my kernel with Intel PIIXn IDE chipset tuning enabled and reboot for it to let me enable DMA on my drives. I also did hdparm -c1 to enable 32 bit I/O on the drives. Cpu sits at a happy 1-2% now when burning. And it roughly tripled performance on my IBM 30GB deskstar. I did read that if you have a Via chipset, that you should not enable DMA because of some problems, like major filesystem corruption. Maybe they fixed this in 2.4.4, I'm running 2.4.3 though. Jay
