We'll use the same test programs here, and even the same amount of data, the only difference is that we have it on a Mr.Platinum 10X certified 80min CD-RW (Manufactured by postech).
Nero CD-Speed:

The Mitsumi is able to read the CD-RW at full speed with great seek times.

And here is the same shot from the Lite-On, the drive is locked to 16X reading, and take a look at the awful seek times! Not good at all.
Transfer speed:

The same result, the Mitsumi is doing really good.

Lite-On, locked to 16X reading.
There is no doubt, look at the speed and especially the seek times. The Mitsumi beats the Lite-On with a long shot.

Excellent review! I personally own a mitsumi 4809, and although i do love lite-ons for their excellent EFM burning(i still have my lite-on 12x), the lite-ons in my opinion are not as solidly build as the mitsumi's. One thing i'd like to note is that significantly better burning times were noted when using NTI's cd software. NTI's clock stops right as the drive stops burning(avg of 3:50 burn time for 700 megs), while nero keeps counting all the way until the cd ejects. Maybe some day you can try using NTI's software in your testing. Btw, you guys have the best overall analysis of cd drives on the web... just my 2 cents....

Just one question: why don't you try to read also BAD discs, I mean discs with scratch, dirt and so on... I bought two weeks ago a nice Samsung SW-224. It seams that every horrible disc that I have (audio, CDR and also CDRW) is read as never before! Much better than the burners I tried before: LG 16x, Teac 16x, Artec 24x.
