I love my liteon 24x/10x/40x burner! :)

[pr0d2]

hehe who wants to buy my old cd-recorder. got this thing from a company in 1992 who went out of businesses only cost me 2500$ ... that was a huge steal! they paid like 25000 for it !no one had one at the time.. Took a few hours to burn a cd but it still rocked... its SCSI... weighs allot.. Slow ass hell ... the blank cd's cost me like 60$ each and i had to order them from some place.. 1 or 2 at a time ... and well ... when you started to burn... you didn?t touch the pc memories

DAMMIT! I just went to order one @ Newegg, but theyre out of stock.

This drive doesn't work well in CLoneCD does it?

 

[randomlinh]

there's only one problem.. finding 99min cd's

 

[Seeko]

Lore,

Who says it doesn't work well with CloneCD? I'm using it right now with CloneCD with no problems. You're misinformed buddy.

I have been looking to buy a new burner (actually borrowing my mom's Compaq drive, which she had never used).

Thank you for letting me know how much you like these, because I have been looking to buy a plextor but haven't been willing to put out that kind of cash so I have been doing without.

I just ordered one of the Lite On's from newegg. I hope the OEM drives are as good as the Retail ones. Because I didn't need the CD-R or the CD-RW and the box. That looked like the only difference, except the -02 on the end of the part number.

Please let me know if I screwed up buying the OEM. So I can hurry and change my order.

I bought an cendyne 24x that my system tells me is a lite-on. I got it at officemax for $69 dollars. found out about it from the hot deals forum. Worth every penny and havent made a coaster yet.

It is the 24x lite-on definitely. It was reviewed in PCmagazine Last month.

They're the same drive, I'm pretty sure.

Seeko:

If you try to back up your SafeDisc protected CDs, it takes its lovely time reading the CD -- spins up and down when it hits those sectors it can't read for about 10 minutes, read the majority of the CD, and then when it hits unreadable sectors it again spins up and down for a while...

My old Plextor 12x didn't do that (it's a speedy demon when it comes to reading those) and the QPS drive I bought this weekend burns right through the reading too. So maybe the statement should be it doesn't work as well with CloneCD as the other 24x readers do.

 

[bonkers325]

<< This thing is awesome...

Comes with nero (finally a legit copy which I'm proud to have) and a fast sweet burner to go with it...

Previously I was only able to burn at 4x, and this sure beats the pants off that! >>



finally huh
i love mine

 

[Lore]

Grr...

I'm 1 hour and 3 minutes into reading this CD with over 5 hours left to go (according to CloneCD). I bought a new game for my little sister today and before she scratches it up I'm making a backup that she can play off of, but it's taking years! I wish I hadn't bought this Lite-On.

 

[Fastball]

I really like mine too; however, it takes about 7 minutes to copy a music CD (CD to CD copy). My CD-Rom is a Plextor 40X. Is this normal?

 

[Seeko]

My Liteon actually read the Comanche 4 cd (SD2 protected) faster than my Toshiba DVD. I'm happy What game are you trying to copy, Lore, and what protection does it have?

 

[Lore]

Seeko: It's a game I bought from Office Depot called Zoo Tycoon. I don't want my lil sis to ruin the CD before it gets played... well, it went on 4 hours (and only at 88%) so I gave up.

 

[Lore]

Seeko, how long did it take you to read your CD?

 

[Lore]

Sorry to post three times in a row.

But - I think I found the solution to my problem. I had set retries to 6, expecting that to be necessary. Once I set fast error skip retries to 0, everything seemed to work. Will test a little further. (It's nice having 10x rewriteable media!)

 

[WarCon]

I am glad because mine is going to be here soon and you had me a little worried. But now I am really looking forward to this drive again especially since now my regular cdrom just died. It had been giving signs of it for awhile with mild instabilities (enough to make me reapply thermal compound just in case ).

I have been using a 4/4/32 and it really kinda sucks...........

I am truly amazed again at newegg.com. I ordered it express saver (cheapest shipping $5) and it could be here tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Not sure if fedex delivers on Saturday, but I think at this time of year they probably are. So maybe Saturday. I ordered it Tuesday night. Holiday shipping seems to be pretty good............

 

[Seeko]

Lore,

I was creating an image of Comanche 4. After reading for 1 minute it said time remaining was 1:28. So i went upstairs. After 20-25 minutes I went back down to see how things were progressing. To my surprise it was finished. So I guess the protection was on the first few minutes of the cd and then after that it was reading at max speed.

 

[Lore]

Yeah, the protection is from sectors 828-10200 (according to this CD anyway) and then it just reads at full speed. What settings did you have anyway? The reason it was taking so fricking long before was due to my 6 retries. Set that to 0 and now it seems to work.

 

[Maetryx]

Maetryx here,

I've got the 16101B. It was packaged as a Pacific Digial. It's just awesome. But like, the next month after I bought it, the 24x drives came out.... for the same price as I paid for the 16x (doh!).

But I can't justify it. I got my Christmas VISA statement and nearly swooned.

 

[Seeko]

Retries: 0
Error Correction: Hardware

 

[Nefrodite]

What do you guys say the best speed for burning audio is?

as fast as you can go the audio cd being better at lower speeds is bull as for diminishing returns on higher speed burners, yea its true. but going from 8x ~8min a burn to about 3 min, i love the difference. 3 minutes gives you barely enough time to setup another burn and maybe nef a post 8 minutes leaves you twiddling your fingers my oldest 2x makes would make me go mad

 

[Lore]

Seeko: Heh, wish you had told me that earlier =) But yeah, that's what I have it on now and it seems to work like a charm.

 

[SonicTron]

I got mine from Newegg today, retail.

Wrapped it up for Christmas so that our family would have at least one gift under our fake tree.
