The specifications of this drive tell us that it should write DVD±R at 12x and DVD+RW/-RW at 8x/6x. In this part, we will measure the write time for various types of DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs. We will also focus on write quality and media compatibility.

 

DVD+R media compatibility and write quality:

In these tests we will be using a Lite-On SHW-165P6S with firmware MS0P along with KProbe to measure the disc quality. We will also be using the Optiarc AD-7173A with firmware 1-01 along with CD-Speed for our read-back tests.

This is all well and good, but for me it is just a burner that does everything current burners do. This just has a blue laser versus a red laser, it does not justify this price bracket. Its not like they have invented a whole new burner here, basically just changed the laser, I'm sure the chasis and other internals are all but the same.

I personally will wait until they are

$599 Ouch! :( when it is $200 or lower I will think about it. No one has won the format wars yet. Can this play Bluray movies too?

Great review but to be honest i don't care what the bottom of the box looks like, how many drives the reviewer has in their PC or the history of the company providing the drive.

You should have tested with the bios that's available now first. Specifically, you needed to test whether the drive reads the second layer of a BD-ROM correctly. IMHO it does not.
