Liteon (again)

[Kingnog]

Well, Im looking at this liteon LDW-411s. Its the only drive I've seen with 4x DVD+R (and rw) and -R recording! Most other drives have 4x for +R, and 2.4 for +-RW's.
Also this has 40x cd-r and 24x cd-rw...

Again, the only drive I've seen with these high recording speeds for all formats (except -RAM, which i dont need).

Anybody know of another drive that has these (or better) burning speeds?

Anybody know of another drive that has these (or better) burning speeds?

The Plextor PX-708A has the same specs plus 8X writing for certain (approved by Plextor) DVD+R discs. The other dual format burner with the same DVD writing speeds is the Sony DRU-510A, but with slower CD writing speeds.

BTW you may want to read the following links before commiting to a Lite-On LDW-411S:

AARRRGGG! Well, those links just changed my mind, apparently the 411s cant do DVD-R very well at all....ok then...
anyone have any other suggestions for a relatively cheap ($100-$150) dual format drive with 40x cd-r burning?

i've burnt 23 dvd-r's on one and had no problems

Really? What type of media were you using? I'm planning on using the cheapo kind, people seem to be having problems with those. And is your firmware upgraded?
