New 20X burners? Lite-on LH-20A1H-185

Well the old faithful 8X SL Optorite 401 died the other day and I figured I better get a new one. After not having very good luck with my NEC 3520 at work I decided against another NEC. I went to newegg and did some research. Most of the drives were $30-$40 so price really played no part. I read several reviews for Samsung, Lite-On, Plextor, Pioneer, etc and noticed that some of the new drives ar 18X and 20X. I found a Lite-On drive that was 20X and supported both lightscribe and 12x DVD-Ram. It had good reviews so I ordered it. I've never owned a lite-on before and I've heard both good and bad things about them.

I don't expect to find 20x media or even 18x for that matter but I thought it wouldn't hurt to buy the 20x over the 16x since they were basically the same price.

Has anyone used a 20x drive or been able to find media? Also, where can I find an online manual or firmware updates for this drive. Lite-ON's site sucks. DOn't know if I made a mistake yet but we'll see.

There is no firmware upgrade yet for your drive. You'll be able to use SMARTBURN which is a good tool to use. Check out the LITEON FORUM at CdFreaks.com
