    I just bought a I/O Magic DVD burner on Staples today, and surprisingly, it turnout to be an OEM Version of Benq DW1670 with DVD-RAM. There wasn't much info on the web about this burner, so if you could be so kind to share you knowledges on it are appreciated.

    Go to the BENQ FORUM at Cdfreaks.com they have 2 threads there on the OEM 1670 drive. The SONY 820A drive is a rebadged BENQ 1670 as well.

    The DW1670 uses the same chipset (Panasonic MN103SA6GSJ) as the Benq DQ60 and the LG 4166 to name a few. The DQ60 got a bad early rap but has steadily improved as firmware revisions have come out. The LG 4166 has shown some impressive results. The biggest knock on the DW1670 by most Benq purists is the chipset is not a true Philips Nexperia - which means no quality scanning and limited QSuite support (primarily no Solidburn support). If that is no issue then I think you will be quite happy with this purchase.
