385605	2005-09-03 04:05:00	Damn, i left my PCWorld at work Did it review the Pioneer DVR-109 or the Toshiba/Samsung TS-H552 models at the lower-end of the price range?	Chilling_Silence (9)
385606	2005-09-03 04:19:00	In the last Netguide, its got a review of that ASUS and the TS-H552. The TS Pros burner consistently got 2nd place in speed tests in both speed and seek times. Cons None The 1608P Pros Easy to install. ASUS supplies an easy to understand manual, audio, and data cables. Speeds are very good with low seeks times and fast burning speeds. Cons None The Benq DW1625 Pros Speeds are good. Placed 3rd in speed tests. The labelling is very good. It supports Lightscribe. Cons To use labelling, u need to get compat disks. Only supplied with 2 of 4 screws. And no cables. Gigabyte GO - W1616B Pros Write to all dvd formats including DL. Comes with Nero and Powerdvd. Cons Speed suffers, with the lowest time Lacie DVD+RW with Lightscribe Pros Comes packed with extras including s/w for creating labels and everything u need to install the drive. and a few blank Lightscribe disks. Has the quickest seek time Cons Refused to read data disks Sony DRU800A Pros Came 6th. Not bad since there's a gap between the last 2 spots Cons No audio cable	Speedy Gonzales (78)
385607	2005-09-03 04:58:00	They give the price of the Asus DRW-1608P at $139. I got mine from Ascent 3 months ago for $121. I saw someone in NZ on the net selling it for $90 NZ includeing GST. Trevor :)	Trev (427)
385608	2005-09-03 04:59:00	Down the road, the Asus is 95 for the black and 110 for the white.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
385609	2005-09-03 07:01:00	I will definitely buy the Asus for my next burner...the POWER of Reviews. :lol:	ephesus (2509)
