Lite-On Flash Question: 40125s to 48125s or 48125w?

[Trader05]

I found both bios's. Which one should i use?

 

[Budman]

You shouldnt use any of those since you have a Plextor 24/10/40 in your rig.

You should have a look over here ----> Cd freaks forum there's tons of info over there and what drive can be flashed to what & so on.

LTR-48125W. Check the firmware version, it should start w/ ZSxx, (mediatek "5"-chipset). If it starts w/ XSUx (mediatek "3" chipset) it's not upgradeable.

More info here.

Just flashed to 48125w, nice 30secs off!

How can you tell which 40x model your drive is?

 

[SKORPI0]

Use Nero InfoTool

Our Nero InfoTool is very usefull for getting a quick overview about your system configuration. It will display important Information for the purpose of discovering errorsources. You will find the version of installed drivers, supported drive features....

Shows you the model of the cd-rw and firmware version.

Any risk whatsoever in taking a 40X liteon drive mediatek 5 chipset to 48X? Any chance it won't work or hinder the reliability of the burns?

The 40x drive isn't rated for 48x... some people who have done the "upgrade" report a higher error rate. Then again, it may work like a charm.

With a little effort, you can go back, if it doesn't work well.

Like a charm for sure
