Yep, bout time too.
My first 4x 2x 8x burner died, it was some mitsumi one. Then i\'ve been borrowing a mates acer 4x 8x burner. It won\'t copy anything. Could only backup stuff on my harddrive.
So i got this burner. Great little burner, although i already knew that sense i got the same one for a mate acouple of months back.
Only thing i don\'t like about it is the drive sled is loud when opening and closing it. I\'d prefer a plextor rom, but i got this one around $43.50 USD which = $87AUD great price. :)
now for the new case. :)

I love how fast CD RWs are getting nowadays... I like being able to burn a CD in under a minute ;). Mine\'s a yamaha 16x10x40, but it\'s external SCSI III, so that makes up for it :D
-
yep, they\'re getting cheap, better quality parts (can be debated) and faster. :)
-
EEEEW THAT DRIVE SUX0RZ!!!11
J/k, and congrats. :)
-
Soul I got the same one, great drive! I heard the next model, the 52x, is much louder so we got a good one. :) Just a question, so far I\'ve only burned music CDs but the max selectable speed is 16x. :( Could this be the media\'s problem and not the hardware/software?
-
Hey THX, I have the same drive as well. :D
With the right media (and computer ;)) you should be able to burn with 48x speed.
-
Yea i think it depends on your processor speed. I burn at 48x no problem. But i always bring it back to 24x to make sure i get a good burn. :)
-
I think my comp is ok (p2.4b) so I\'ll try pickung up some other media next time.
-
hmm, should work fine.. What program are u using?
-
This is a retail Lite-On so I\'m using the Nero software that came with it. I tried using my original Nero but it couldn\'t see the drive. :P Anyway when I start Nero up I can select 48x at first but when I burn the max is 16. Sound like the CD-R?
-
Yeah, I think it\'s the media... I think the drive/software can \'see\' how fast the media is and adjusts the burning accordingly. What media are you using? It normally says what speed it is, on the CD.
-
i burn on 16x cds at higher speeds. Maybe try getting a newer version of nero, or getting a different program.
-
LOL! I have the LG 48x burner, and guess what there newest firmware that was released for this model has boosted the speed up to 53.5x
LOL! Ahhh... nothing like paying for a 48x burner and in return receiving a 52x burner lol!!!!! Heck I have had this burner for 6 months.
-
good for u. :)
-
i hope you guys arent fooled by the 48x (MAX theoretical) burning speeds on these drives and think yer actually burning at those speeds
oops, you were
-
mm I hope you\'re referring to Nvidia\'s post. Dood do you even notice a difference when burning? But with my predicament I\'m sure I\'d see a difference between 16x and 48x.
-
16x vs 48x sure
it\'s like when dial modem manufacturers put 56k and then (maximum) in small print. they are theoretical maximum speeds
when did u ever connect at 56,000 kps
think of it this way, is a 48x burner twice as fast as a 24x burner?
not on yer life
i remember owning a 1x speed burner that did 150kb/sec
heck, i even remember 300 baud modems when they were the shit
-
D\'uh mm, people other than you know that the burn (and read) speed depends on where on the CD the laser is.
Hence the reason I didn\'t care about getting a 52x burner. 48x is plenty fast and the price difference to (much) slower models insignificant. Besides, whether burning a CD takes 2 mins or 3 doesn\'t matter to me anyway.
i remember owning a 1x speed burner that did 150kb/sec
[/b]So? I remember paying top dollar for a 4x speed CD-ROM drive back when that was the fastest shit around. Cost me $250 or so.

/me hugs sammy

Duh!
I tested my drive with nero speed test, 700mb dummy file and the max speed my drive reached(at the outer edge of the cd, the fastest area) I reached 53.5x pretty nice indeed
good for u.
Thank you souly
:thepimp: :thepimp:
So? I remember paying top dollar for a 4x speed CD-ROM
I hear ya, I remember my first burner a 6x 4x 24x costed me "$499 can" at that was a good deal
-
max speed my drive reached
guess i dont have to say anything
-
so, u didn\'t notice the difference between 1x and 4x. uh-huh sure. You could buy a 16x burner, and a 48x burner. The 48x may not burn at that speed. But it\'ll be faster then the 16x. :)
Done a test burn with a dummy file myself. Started at 24x went to 47x towards the end of the burn. Sounds good to me. :)
normally i burn at 24x anyway.. Don\'t wanna risk a crappy burn.
Did a copy of a music cd for my mum with clonecd. Got a Average Speed: 5514 kBytes/s (31.33) :)
-

Ok! I mean what is is that your trying to say that we already don\'t know?????

Congrats;
Hey can someone help me out with getting a cd-rw.
I need an external one. And something fairly fast. But I honestly have no clue what I need to get for it. Basically I want it under 90 bucks, fairly fast, and able to burn MP3 cds, and regular AUDIO cds.
thanks for the help

First off if you plan to get an external burner make sure you have usb 2.0 supported by your computer, other wise you will only be able to burn as fast as usb 1,0 standards can acheive.
Here are some externals to think of getting
LiteOn 40x12x40 External USB 2.0
ASUS 52x24x52x External CD-RW USB 2.0
etc...
-
Thanks. Ill look around the internet.
I have USB 2.0 I believe.
How would I go about checking anyway?
-
go to your device manager. Open Universal seriel bus controllers.
Then u should see something like USB 2.0 Root hub
If so, u have usb 2.0.
-
It says USB Root hub, with nothing behind it.
usb 1?
-
yep.
