Specifications, what they are detected as being able to.

And as always a few screenshots from different programs is nice to have to show off the drives real features:


Nero Info Tool: The Mitsumi



Nero Info Tool: The Lite-On, funny thing is that it's detected as not being able to write to CD-RW discs, something that is wrong.


Both drives have the same features.


And a shot from CloneCD that shows the Mitsumi as being fully supported.



And this shot shows the Lite-On as being fully supported by CloneCD too.



And another shot from Nero, the thing that caught our attention was that it states 'RAW+96" at disc at once while my Lite-on LTR-24102B states 'supported" as shown below.



The same shot from Nero, but from the Lite-On this time.


Lets start with the data reading tests...

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.
THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATION FOR THIS SITE!
