It looks like the Verbatim drive could be either a Ricoh MP-5125 OEM or a NEC ND-1000A, see here.

I saw it at SAM'S Club yesterday for $215.00. When I looked at the specs it looks just like Memorex's, which is based on Ricoh.

Yeah that's where I saw it. I think I might go Sony. It does DVD_-R/_-RW seems to be the way to go.

Yes but is it worth the $199 clams ?

[Marco33]

The verbatim? We'll it's a stopgate till this -+r thing swings in one direction. They do make the meadia that I have used for years so, i trust their name. Altho I have been using HP to write on that media.

I'm leaning toward the Sony 500 I guess just because it does all formats it's probably worth the extra money.

I Picked one up Yesterday the verbatim for $169 after rebates. Good deal and it works well. It is an NEC ND1000.

[Marco33]

I think I'll do the same. It's $217 here a Sam's.
