But according to spects posted in Staples WEB site the drive is AOpen not BenQ 1655.

Then why the have posted this drive which is AOpen spects not BenQ?.

ClayBuster · 03-01-2006

Dunno dude. I have right here though it is a DW1655 the drive itself is labeled BenQ

paiger651 · 03-01-2006

I picked one up today it's a BEN-Q DW 1655 label is on the drive.

I have no faith in Staples site as to specifications. All these office supply stores get a wide variety in the stores. That is a good reason to only buy these things when in hand to minimize disapointment. I have seen one brand of media with three countries of origin on the same shelf.

lol pictures are worth 1000 words....

reasonsnotrules · 03-01-2006

definitely not enough proof for me. How about I pm you my address and you can mail me the drive for "verification"

office supply stores are well known for misleading customers with plain wrong specs more often than other electronic stores

How many did you take? Local Staples here sold out!

maxxjulie · 03-01-2006

I got one and they only had two on the shelf. Lightscribe's gonna take my porn collection to a new level.

*TCAS* · 03-01-2006

I am still undecided whether to get this drive with lightScribe or wait for NEC 4551A with "Labelflash" to become available.

Probably wait for someone or BenQ to post the BSxx firmware and crossflash the drive with it.

hamrhead · 03-01-2006

I just bought one at my local Staples (Bernal Rd in San Jose) and it was a Lite-On. They had two and the second one was a 1655.

Toonces311 · 03-01-2006

I just got back from my Staples in Salt Lake City. They had 3 drives. The first one I got was a Liteon. I took it back and they let me switch it out for one of the other two. The second one was the BenQ.
