I got this drive at a great price on sale. I put into an external housing with a fast USB interface.

This tiny external USB drive is a very good way to add additional storage to a laptop without having to clone and install a drive into the laptop. It protrudes only a small amount from the side of the laptop, allowing it to remained plugged in while inserted into a sleeve or carrying bag. The speed of the drive is as advertised, which is suitable for smaller files (such as photos). It is an excellent buy when on sale.

Listen to your favorite albums with this Onkyo DX-C390(B) 6-disc CD player that features Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry technology for clear, brilliant audio. The high-precision multibit D/A converter delivers high-quality sound.
When will this be back in Stock NEW
Since Onkyo has pulled out of the US marketplace, I suspect that it will not be back in stock as a new unit. I got mine as an "open box, Excellent" unit - and it was as good as new. You can find it as new on Amazon, but its price there is exorbitant - far above the suggested retail price.

Can I stack my Yamaha receiver on top of the CD player? The CD player is a bit too wide to use side by side.
I would say it is ok to put your receiver on top of the cd player, but would recommend against putting the receiver under it. Receivers can generate a fair amount of heat, and you generally want to have good airflow on the top and sides of the receiver.
