Not sure this is hot since 8X burners have already dipped below this price. 4X is hot maybe if it's Free After Rebate, which is what they soon will be.

one: liteon is better
two: it's cool!

ok, anyways, if you hack this... will it be true 8X? or just perfomance increase?

lol.. true. if the hackin and the l337 factor is important, then liteon might be a more satisfying purchase. :D

Hacking LiteOn 411s to 811s

See #11 in the contents.


Have you done this? How well does it work?

If you have any qualms about hacking the drive, then I suggest spending the extra dough on latest LiteOn.

Although, hacking the drive actually upgrades the 411s to the 811s. Not just a firmware upgrade, it will write at true 8x.

In the last two weeks I've hacked 2 liteon 451s to 851s.
Both are turning out dvd's without a hitch, and have burned 6 +r's @ 8 speed.

Liteon is all I've bought the last 2 years (cdrw, dvd rom, dvdrw; hacked and unhacked) and have had 0 problems.
