Lite On DVD-RW is garbage...

[Arcanedeath]

Lite-On makes wonderful CD burners, CD-rom drives, DVD rom drives and wonderful CD/DVD combo drives, but they make Horrible and I mean really bad DVD burners, everyone I know who's had one has had issues or been dissapointed, so I would stay far far away from their DVD burners but everything else they make seems to be fairly good.

Seems so odd though,

I agree 100% with the CD-ROM / CD-RW drives.. But they either cut WAY to many corners, or just had a horrible, horrible batch..

Well,

This would be my second Lite on drive.. (12x)

I am returning this to Newegg..

Read speeds are pathetic..


I am going to contact Newegg, i refuse to play $11 bucs to restock, and then ship it back..

:thumbsdown: for Lite on..,


Getting the 16x NEC.






So to recap..

Paid to ship it here originally..

Paid to RMA it back..

Now pay $11 to restock a POS..

Then pay to SHIP back the POS

The pay shipping to receive the new drive.. ???

NO WAY.

I am calling tomorrow.




HAHAHA... over (1) hour to copy 4.7GB of Mp3



Started at 10:25 and it errored out at 11:10...

What a jokelite.JPG

Maybe you should have read some reviews before buying it instead of trying to stick Newegg with the expense caused by your lack of research.

Wow, don't scare me. I have a Liteon 12X DVD burner sitting in my half assembled PC, from newegg too

Looking at your Pic I wonder if you were using the built in Win XP burning burning software, that will take ages to complete

Yes that the exact same way I feel & discovered when I got my first lite-on DVD-RW drive,cdrw drives are excellent but DVd burners are buggy at best, Only Pioneer for me.

Are you kidding me?

I sent it to them 2nd day air the first time, and I will pay to ship it back again.. But pay a restocking fee..

Ya right..


Research? Lite on is very highly reguarded for the most part.. ( Until now )

Get off my back..

bjc112, I will have to agree with Snatchface on this one. There have been numerous posts on this very forum about people having problems with the drive you purchase. I know this because I read this forum just about every day to avoid problems like you encountered. There is no need to get hostile because another member points out the obvious. I know not to buy a Lite-on DVD player at lease a month ago when reading about everyone's negative posts about the drive. Where were you? As far as Lite-on being higher regarded...yes for their CD burners, not their DVD burners. In fact, I have a Lite-on CD burner and stand by it 100 percent.
