Anyway, you seem to have messed up the formula for the Cheap Route/1 yr. later incremental costs column. You have a $111.00 LiteOn drive listed, but a $0.00 on the incremental total column. If you fix the formula (uses column G instead of F), the cheap-but-often route is actually $34 more expensive over the long term. Or am I just missing something?

Got one last month, it's just all-around high quality. I second the Plextor 8x recommendation. Got one last month, it’s just all-around high quality.
