That's not bad, and it would be reliable, but have you considered Teac? I just bought a 12/10/32 Teac locally for $133. You could find it cheaper on Pricewatch. Teac makes the controller for both drives, I believe. At any rate, they're basically the same drive, just different retail package. And the Teac actually has a couple more features and is faster in almost all aspects.
Just a thought.
