I bet some people will give this a thumbs down because the standard Newegg price is ~$22-$25 but keep in mind that this is the retail version that has software and DVD decoders that don't come with the OEM versions.

I'm giving a red just because he doesn't have the price in title. Clearance so what? What is the price!
The OP is a SATA Retail drive. The link you provided is an IDE OEM drive. If you want to compare, here is the correct link for $49.99 - newegg.

Any get one to confirm, but I thought this "retail" version did not have SATA cable inside...thus further negating the fair price. That said....still good to know.

Doesn't look like a cable is included from Newegg description and from one of the reviewers. Newegg description: Packaging Package Contents DRU865S Driver Disk User's Manual Screws
Reviewer: ...I did not have to upgrade any firmware and the driver cd is only needed for the software. (will work without disk) Comes with screws, but no sata cable. I strongly recommend one with clips although this burner does vibrate less then many others. flyingroach said: Any get one to confirm, but I thought this "retail" version did not have SATA cable inside...thus further negating the fair price.

Actually, this one is $15.50 and is not that hard to find. According to some forums (google is your friend), this is a rebranded version of highly popular Sony Optiarc AD-7200A. ampicillinct said: confirmed, item: 766251 Model: DRUV204A $25.50
