I received the full retail box from NEC, which is a pretty good package as far as retail bundles go. Besides the drive itself, you get an audio cable, a set of mounting screws and most importantly, an IDE cable. To get you started, NEC has included a blank eight-speed DVD+R disc and a blank four-speed DVD+RW disc. Both pieces of media are Verbatim branded, so NEC hasn’t skimped on the quality.
