Good drive, but can't write to legacy media

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased this drive two months ago. I use it primarily to create DVD-R video DVDs using Taiyo-Yuden (JVC) TY02 DVD-R media. I test my burns with another Liteon drive using the "DVD Speed" software. The burns are generally good, although not quite as good as my old Plextor drive (ah, the days when you could actually purchase a premium drive that had superior specifications).

My one problem is something that perhaps most people won't care about: this burner will not burn at 1x. Why does this matter? Well, I still have a large number of older DVD+RW discs that I use almost every day for making test burns of new videos before I burn multiple copies onto DVD-R media. Some of these discs can only be burned at 1x. Unfortunately this burner does not have a 1x option and so it burns this media at a faster speed. The problem is that this faster write strategy makes the discs unreadable and, with this burner, they cannot be recovered. Fortunately, I have an older burner that can do a full erase, at 1x, and bring the media back to life. For the time being, I have to use this older burner, located on a seldom-used PC, to do the burns on this older media.

For most people, this deficiency is not a deal breaker, and I have found a way around it, as long as my older burner continues to operate, but I thought I should mention it in case you have any older 1x and 2x media lying around: you may not be able to burn reliably with this burner. For 4x, 8x, and 16x DVDs, this burner works just fine.

Picture doesn't match the item you'll receive

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

This drive does not have the LightScribe and though it's not mentioned in the description the picture shows one with the LightScribe logo on the left side. I purchased this one, the IHAS32408 on 3/24/10and IHAS424 on 3/20/11. I purchased this based on the picture and the price that was less than the other one and this came with free shipping, without having to meet a twenty five dollar requirement, so I never bothered to read what the description didn't say. Bottom line, as of 3/31/11, the picture shown is not of the item you'll receive so if you don't care about the LightScribe feature, and having to more for compatible blank media, then ignore the picture and make your purchase.

The one I purchased earlier would not work in my Dell 2400 with the IDE to SATA adapter I purchased on Amazon. My computer would not read it as a DVD, on a CD, and it would not spin up. Also, it caused havoc in my computer with applications and speed. Based on what I was trying to do, I would suggest that you not try putting a SATA DVD into an IDE because your system may not accept it. I returned this one to Amazon but can't tell you how good it is based on the one I purchased previously but it'll probably be 5 stars but reduced to 4 because the pic is wrong and misleading.

Performance is underwhelming

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

Hi,
I got this drive expecting it to perform very well, certainly better than my three year old Optiarc AD-7200S. Well, it doesn't. I ran the included Nero DiscSpeed 5 software on both drives in the same machine. The old drive spanked it across the board in read speed.

Here are the read results:
_________Liteon__Optiarc
Average__3.95x___7.41x
Start____2.63x___4.92x
End_____5.00x___9.39x

Both tests were done with the same SQL Server 2008 DVD from Microsoft.

Sadly the old Optiarc also out performs it burning DVDs.

If you're looking for really fast DVD drive then you may want to keep looking.
Regards,
John

Hmm

This burner is fast! I was getting write errors and wasted four discs before I realized this burner was faster than my computer could handle ( I have an ollllld Dell ), so I set the burn speed to just under the max for my discs and it works like a charm. It is noisy, though, but I didn't buy it to play DVDs so anyone who complains about that-----suck it up! This thing performs.

UPDATE:
Well, just over a year and hundreds of burns and this thing self destructed. The belt for the drawer snapped and it froze. Went though the windows toubleshooter and tied to update the driver to no avail. When I restarted the computer the unit's light came on and never went out. Had to pop it out and put in an old e-machine drive.

Not really going to say anything disparaging based on one unit, but I would recommend an extended warranty just in case. I am, however, lowering my rating based on long term performance.

Update 2: All of you desparaging idiots that thought I was complaining about the unit you obviously didn't really read the review. My comparison was with an old emachine drive that was quite a few years old and I recommended an extended warranty if at all possible. PS I replaced the belt and still frozen.

It does what it should do

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this drive about two weeks ago and so far it has worked great.
I've burned about 10 DVD+R DL and DVD-R and haven't had any problems so far.
The box came with a SATA data cable, four screws and a disc with Nero 9 Essentials.
The installation was easy and the only thing that was not included in the box and that I had to buy was a SATA power adapter to connect to my PC power supply.

The unit I received was made in July 2011 and its the "B" version.

One last note: When you buy this item order it from Amazon, they have an amazing customer service. I can tell this because the guys at USPS had lost the first package I ordered and then I contacted Amazon Customer Service and they sent me another one right away with one day shipping.

Great optical drive

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

I love the quality and consistency of LiteOn optical drives. I've never had a bad one. I purchased this one for a budget gaming build. It arrived in 2 days (thanks AmazonPrime) and includes plenty of software (Windows only, though Nero includes a Linux trial) to get you started.

This is a no-frills drive and is great for replacing an existing drive or for a new build. I do wish that they still came with optional Bezels (used to come in black and white).
