ASUS BW-16D1HT - Different Versions?

Post by michaelsft »

Hi all, I'm about to pull the trigger and buy this drive from AmazonUK and I notice there appears to be two versions of the drive. The more expensive calls itself a 'BDR DVDRW' and has all the DVD logos on the front, the less expensive has 'Blu-Ray Writer, E-GREEN, M-DISC Support' in it which seems like the one to get. Just confusing there are two with the same model number and the more expensive one appears to do less. Would anyone be kind enough to clarify that I'm right to get the one at the link below and not the more expensive you first see when you search ASUS BW-16D1HT on Amazon?

Thanks in advance
Michael

Thanks very much for confirming, I'll go with the cheaper model then and when pay day comes I'll grab the OWC Mercury Pro 5.25" Enclosure and then I'll be ready to go!
