Newegg.com - LITE-ON Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM 8MB Cache SATA Internal Blu-ray Burner 12X Blu-ray Burner with Blu-ray 3D feature Model iHBS112 - Blu-Ray Burners

I should expect the price of these during a sales week at Newegg will get even lower than this. Pretty sweet for those who are still waiting for the price of the 12X diodes to come down in price before they build one.

Re: New 12X drive by Liteon for $160

These might be the first "other" 12X that is not a re-packaged Pioneer. I need to see that sled and diode

Peace,
dave

The number we are concerned with is the BD-R speed, which is 12X. The BD-RE speed of only 2X is normal.

Yes Dave is 100% right. Rest assured. This is a 12X blu-ray burner.

$150 and free shipping now too.

Edit: Hmm, odd, from the link above it goes to a $150 + free shipping deal. Entering from the list of burners on the site yields the original price stated.

Nice! this is one heck of a deal if the diodes are as good as the 12X pioneer ones.

Yeah, I can't wait until the top-end BR burner is the same price as the top-end DVD drive. Hopefully that happens when these are 24X burners or something though.

Rayfoss is selling the sleds from these drives for $65. If they turn out to be what they say they are it would save some big bucks. Unless anybody is looking for a deal on a 12X DVD burner for it's intended use.

Here is the link to the thread about the Rayfoss 12X Light On sleds.LINK
