New Lite-On 48x cd writer Excellent drive! :) Very quiet, wouldn't recognize the Memorex 40x media I have, but a quick firmware update from their site solved that. Burns a 800MB SVCD in 3:58 min. Extremely quiet. Only $79 shipped at newegg.com |
Yes, glad you posted your impressions, because as a matter of fact, I was JUST speccing out some new parts for my son's new box he wants for college, and that was the cd-rw I picked. (from Newegg, no less, too hehe). Thanks! I'll go with it then. |
I love the liteon drives. So are CHEAP and reliable. I had the 12x and now the 32x. I have bought other people the 40 and 48 and they have been happy as well. |
Still happy with my 32x:D |
I'm content with my 12x still. Does it really make all that much a difference to me if I burn in 6 minutes or 3? hell no...I'm drinkin a beer and I'll prolly forget I'm burnin it anyway. I wouldn't mind having a DVD burner though. It sure would make things a lot easier ;) |
I was considering a DVD burner while I was in the US. But didnt bother. I'm gonna wait for the price to come down. cd-rom media is SOOO cheap as well. |

Yarr, Mongo like his Lite-On 16x10x40. At the time, it was a great deal for ~$90. Dunno the details about Lite-On. It was said that their first burner's were all rebadged. If you got REAL lucky, you got a Plextor for peanuts! AFAIK, they now make their own CD-RW's. And everybody is eager to rebadge them as their own! |
Yep :) Lite ons are great. Im really satisfied with my 16x Lite On CD Burner. |
Yeah, now it's the other way round cloasters. Surlyjoe bought an el cheapo drive and was happy tofind it wasa rebadged liteon :D Personally though, I found it difficult to noticethe differene between 12x and 32x. But I did notice teh jump from 4x to 12x |

I really only see a minute here and there shaved off, but it's nice to know I have it :) (and it really does burn at 40x + :D ). |
Find a firmware upgrade to update the slower ones to burn faster. I managed to stick an 16x firmware on my 12x and got a bit more speed from it. Nothing noticable, but it does list as 16x in the options too now. |
