That is an old version of that page as the liteon 163 is not even listed....The liteon will do just over 40x dae ripping...It reads cd data at over 44x...

How can you fault the Pioneer for being slower than Lite-On, when it's rated 40x compared to Lite-On's 48x?? To credit Pioneer, they actually beat their specs and reach ~43x in many cases, and it reads CD-RWs much faster than Lite-On. On DVD's side though, Lite-On totally kills the competition. But IMO, the best DVD-ROM is still the Toshiba 16x, it's hard to argue how complete of a package this drive provides, and the best CloneCD compatibility to top things off, the only drawback is its slow DVD movie ripping.
