Price check: Samsung 40X CD-R/RW

[consumertalks]

Samsung SW-240B 40 CD-R/RW (black)
Factory option from DELL. I'm looking at getting a 52X burner just cause it's a few seconds faster.

I got the Dell 2350 in April, how much could I expect to get for the drive? Thanks!

from the rules "Price Check threads will be allowed only if the following conditions are met.
1. Computer Items: Older, rare, hard-to-price, which means, if it's not listed on Pricewatch, then it will be allowed. If an item is found on Pricewatch, your thread will be deleted without warning."

price watch list them for $37 so a used one maybe $25-30

Honestly I really dont think a 52x CDRW is any faster than a 48x...also depends on brand and media used....too many factors involved at those speeds...plus that is a "CAPABILITY" speed rating ...NOT what the drive will actually be writing at while burning...The whole premise of burn proof technologies is slowing down the recording so as not to make a coaster and caching of info for when speed exceeds the computers ability to keep up.
