Anyone with Lite-On LDW-411s Experience ??

[Montano]

Just wondering if this is a decent DVD/CD burning drive ?? Was looking at the Pioneer 106, but the Lite-On has much faster CD-R speeds.

 

[Montano]

anyone ??

There is a review floating around for the new 401s version that shows it flat kicks arse compared to some of these inflated name brand ones...The 401s is a dvd+r/+rw only...Is the 411 the -r/-rw added model???

The review was at www.storagereview.com I believe...

 

[Montano]

Yes, the 411 is +/- I 'm wondering about media compatability, etc.......

somebody here owns this drive

 

[DrZone]

hehehe. Yes i'm anxious to hear about this drive too. It's quite reasonably priced for a 4x writer. And Lite-on rocks!

I'll admit that this isn't much to go on http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=Go&description=LDW%2D411 but the 2 user feedbacks are more then I am seeing here

I too would love to hear from someone with a little more info on this drive, maybe one of us should pick it up and tell the rest of us how it is, you guys go first

I ordered it from newegg, should arrive Wednesday. I'll post some results

I just installed this drive in my Mom's computer. We are only using it to back up her 2 gigs of pictures and other stuff, but it worked flawless with that on Memorex 4X DVD-R media and took a total of 17 minutes to do on an old Dell Dimension 4200 1GHz/512 RAM. I really liked the software for data writing that came with the drive. It was very simple and easy to use for my 73 y/o mother.

Sorry she hasn't used it for more stuff so I could give a better review.

 

[Montano]

All I can say is WOW. This drive burned a full length movie in under 15 minutes @ 4x using Princo DVD-R media. Works great with Nero 6
