Firmware: 8S01
Lite-On, one of the world's largest producers of optical drives was kind enough to send us the external LXR-24101A 24/10/40X CD-RW drive for review.
Lite-On started their business in 1995, and in 1997 they opened a new factory in China. Lite-On IT was created in 1999 to focus on developing and producing Optical drives only. They quickly became one of the top brands both in the retail and especially on the OEM market. Mostly because of high quality products and attractive pricing strategy. In 2001 they joined forces with JVC, a Japanese manufacturer of optical components, to stay even stronger in the market.
The drive we will be reviewing is capable of writing at 24X speed, rewriting at 10X speed and read at 40X speed. In this review we will compare the drive with other internal CD-RW drives.

The pics were really a pain in the ass to get them right in the backend system
Great review though.
Great review though.
In order to backup Cactus Data Shield Audio CD's. I've found it helps to insert the CD with autorun enabled and allow it to start the built-in player. Stop the player, load CloneCD and copy the CD (make sure you don't have any fast error skip stuff enabled). This (for me at least) results in a copy of the CD which completely works 100% (and in fact can be backed up or ripped perfectly).
