Journal Journal: Etched in Stone - Part 1
This is just a quickie only because I can't believe the price.
I've been wanting an M-Disc drive ever since I saw the Slashdot article last August.
I was looking for a replacement DVD-RW drive for one of my machines last week when I saw the LG internal SATA version of this drive on NewEgg for $18!
I've ordered discs separately, with a 10-pack costing me $35. And here is why I think this drive isn't going to sell well (and thus is basically on clearance at NewEgg). Most of the discs I burn are disposable. I need to move something to a non-network computer, or need a start-up disc.
A 10-pack of the "forever" discs should last me, well, forever. There are only 3 or 4 CDs/DVDs that I've burned over the years that I've kept over the last decade. Things like tax records, scans of medical records, family history records, etc.
Once the discs show up next week, I'll burn a disc and post a little more in-depth review. But for now, if you ever wanted something like this, NewEgg can't be beat. This drive is still $80 over at Amazon as of today.
