Yeah you mean the 3520 I have that exact same driver and I have not had a single coaster since I got it. Works great and the prices are great.

I don't use mine a whole lot, but yes, every time I used it, it worked wonderfully.

Yeh, it's basically just a rebadged Pioneer drive, so very good quality. Cheaper than the Pioneer as well.
