Micro Advantage 52x Burner
Got this at Office Max. $19. after rebates.
This drive could not even run the software installation disc that came with it. Back in the box. Back to the store. |

Sorry for your difficulty but it would have been more helpful to others if you had mentioned the actual manufacturer of the drive since "MicroAdvantage" is nothing more than a repackager of various products. -- callsignviper The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask the right questions. |

When I was at the checkout paying for this I said I wonder who actually makes this? And the guy at the register said "Micro Advantage." Thinking he misunderstood I told him that these cheapo drives were usually made by somebody else and repackaged by whatever brand is selling them. He said Micro Advantage manufactures their own stuff. Well they do a poor job of it. If anybody could give me clue as to how to figure out who really made it I will look and report, as I haven't had a chance to take it back yet. |

He said Micro Advantage manufactures their own stuff. Most store employees are usually clueless when asked for the actual manufacturer and don't seem to understand the repackaging concept. Read he http://www.microadvantage.net/company/ and see what you think. I have no doubt the drive you bought was manufactured by BTC or similar. Well they do a poor job of it. If anybody could give me clue as to how to figure out who really made it I will look and report, as I haven't had a chance to take it back yet. As Tim said the FCC ID# can be traced. Sometimes these repackagers leave the original manufacturer's Model Number the same. Just look at the label on top of the drive. It should have everything needed to identify the actual manufacturer. Also, the firmware revision number can help as well since each manufacturer tends to use a unique method to identify their firmware revision level. -- callsignviper The truth is out there.
