| 488150 | 2006-09-30 08:25:00 | Mea Culpa. I checked my old thread of a year ago and it was not a Liteon that I had but an OptoWrite! Chill and Mets were (-) about Optowrites, not Liteons. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz |

| 488153 | 2006-09-30 08:53:00 | Reviews never mention lastability. Cannot think of the correct word - what I mean is USER reviews, i.e. comments from people who use them, blog style, not magazine reviews of a new product. |

| 488156 | 2006-10-01 02:36:00 | I have a 1653S and would not recommend it. It is a 16x burner but no brand of DVDR tried will burn reliably above 4x. Imation disks, a very popular brand, are unreliable even at 4x. These days it is only another $10 for a better brand, Asus/Pioneer/etc. It will save a lot of time not having to verify every disk you burn. |

| 488157 | 2006-10-01 06:12:00 | I bought a Liteon 1693s at the beginning of the year (January). Have used it extensively, thus far no issues whatsoever :) | Myth (110) | ||
| 488158 | 2006-10-13 21:41:00 | Thanks everybody for the great advice. I have bought a Liteon drive from Paradigm and it seems to work very well. When I saw the high specs required on the box, I got a shock, because I was going to use it on an older computer, but it seems to work fine anyway |

| 488159 | 2006-10-14 01:35:00 | They're even better afte a firmware upgrade, although the burn quality is pretty nice, straight outta the box. Mine is getting a little "tired" after 6 months now, many many dvd & cd burns. They're not quite as high-quality as my mates Asus one which just burns and burns and burns and burns and still reads perfectly, but for >$75 you simply cannot go wrong! Check around for the latest Firmware though, it definately improves the burning quality at 8x, especially on the cheap media like Princo! |
