Review on LiteOn SOHW 1693S 16X DVD Dual Drive by Brandon Wong

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Everything is fine Computers and accessories

Everything is fine with this disc. I've made many coasters with it. You have to make sure you buy drives that they say they support - I was told by their tech support that - we suggest you use tdk, ridata, imation, literal, sony, philips, ritek. The following was also said: We do not recommend our customers to use memorex, maxell, any generics or private label such as officemax or braces. I found a firmware update that seems to get it working at 8x with Verbatims. This still doesn't work with the Officemax and Memorex drives I have. I haven't burned dual layer discs so I don't know about it.

Pros
  • SMART-X (intelligent monitoring and reading speed adjustment technology for eXtraction)
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
