SM-332 can be found for the outstanding price range of around $80-90USD. That places this drive at a current price point just below or equivalent to 40X CD-writers or around $25-30 difference against 32X CD-writers.
That makes this drive perhaps one of the best bargains you could possibly look for if the conditions are right. Those who have no CD writer drives yet, or who are looking for a multi function drive for a system with limited expansion will find this an invaluable, and inexpensive investment.
